PER CURIAM:
David Ward appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
civil action alleging employment discrimination. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Ward v. Summers, No. CA-00-258-JFM (D. Md. Oct. 26,
2000); see also Cook v. CSX Transp. Corp., 988 F.2d 507, 511 (4th
Cir. 1993) (stating standard for reviewing claim of discriminatory
disparate treatment). 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.
AFFIRMED
