PER CURIAM:
Jeffrey E. Johnson filed a complaint alleging employment
discrimination in his termination as a police planner for the
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) and in MWAA’s
failure to hire him for other positions. The district court
conducted a hearing and granted summary judgment in favor of MWAA
for the reasons stated from the bench. Johnson appeals. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s statements from the
bench. The court properly found that, even if Johnson could make
a prima facie showing of discriminatory treatment, MWAA showed
legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for the adverse employment
actions and that Johnson failed to show that the reasons were
pretextual. Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S.
133, 137-39 (2000). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court as stated at the hearing on January 4, 2002. See
Johnson v. Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, No. CA-01-
1614-A (E.D. Va. filed April 19, 2002 & entered April 24, 2002).
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
