See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Samuel B. Wallace appeals from the district court's orders
granting Defendant's motions to dismiss and for summary judgment,
and dismissing his employment discrimination action pursuant to
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A.
§ 2000e (West 1994). Wallace alleged discrimination on the basis of
his race (black) and sex (male).
Our review of the record and the district court's opinions
discloses that this appeal is without merit. Wallace failed to
establish a prima facie case of employment discrimination. See
O'Connor v. Consolidated Coin Caterers Corp., ___ U.S. ___, 64
U.S.L.W. 4243 (U.S. Apr. 1, 1996) (No. 95-354); see also McDonnell
Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 802 (1973); Alvarado v. Board
of Trustees, 928 F.2d 118, 121 (4th Cir. 1991). Moreover, Wallace's
class action claim of discrimination and his various antitrust
claims were properly dismissed by the district court. We therefore
affirm the district court's orders on the reasoning of the district
court. Wallace v. Shalala, No. CA-93-2536-PJM (D. Md. Apr. 11,
1996; Sept. 10, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
