PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-
dants' motion for summary judgment and dismissing his complaint
alleging employment discrimination. We have reviewed the record and
the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Coates v.
Robey, No. CA-96-2088-L (D. Md. July 24, 1997). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
