PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting the

Appellee’s motion for summary judgment, denying Appellant’s motion

for summary judgment and dismissing his action filed under the

Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-16 (West

1994 &    Supp.1998). We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s   opinion   adopting   the   magistrate   judge’s   findings   and

recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court. Boyd v. Runyon, No. CA-96-

725-3 (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 14, 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 deci-

sional process.
