We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Basnight v. Hampton Roads Shipping Ass’n, No. 2:04-cv-00782-WDK (E.D. Va. filed March 21, 2007; entered March 22, 2007). 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 - 2 -
