PER CURIAM:
Robert Strickland, Jr., appeals from the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and granting summary judgment in favor of his former
employer and dismissing his employment discrimination and
retaliation action. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. Strickland v. Baker, No. 3:08-cv-02721-
CMC (D.S.C. Jan. 12, 2010).
Strickland also appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
59(e). Finding no abuse of the district court’s discretion, we
likewise affirm that order on the reasoning of the district
court. Strickland v. Baker, No. 3:08-cv-02721-CMC (D.S.C. Feb.
11, 2010). See Pac. Ins. Co. v. Am. Nat’l Fire Ins. Co., 148
F.3d 396, 402 (4th Cir. 1998).
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
