See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Robert J. McCarty appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his action alleging employment discrimination. We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See McCarty v. West, No. CA-98-903-A (E.D. Va.

Oct. 30, 1998).   We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
