PER CURIAM:

            Marvin Dalton appeals the district court’s order granting

summary    judgment   to   Defendant   in   this   action    alleging   race

discrimination in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (2000).            We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.          See Dalton v.

Avis Rent A Car System, Inc., No. CA-03-535-1 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 2,

2004).    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
