PER CURIAM:
George R. “Tex” Wood appeals from the district court’s order
granting summary judgment for Defendant in Wood’s action chal-
lenging the constitutionality of Virginia’s requirements for
inclusion on the ballot as an independent candidate for the United
States Senate in the general election in Virginia. In light of the
time-sensitive nature of the issues, we have granted Wood’s motion
to expedite consideration of the appeal. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny Wood’s motion for an injunction
pending appeal and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
See Wood v. Quinn, No. CA-00-335-3 (E.D. Va. July 17, 2000). 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
