Steven Ward, Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Scott Chamberlin, ELLIS &
WINTERS, L.L.P., Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Steven Ward appeals the district court’s order granting
summary judgment to Appellee. 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. See Ward v. American
Med. Sys., Inc., No. CA-00-150-1 (W.D.N.C. Oct. 23, 2001). 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
