PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary

judgment to Defendants in Appellant's employment discrimination

suit. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Nelson-Richards v. Board of Trustees of Montgomery
Community College, No. CA-93-323-WN (D. Md. July 25 & Sept. 9,

1994; July 22, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

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