See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Adnan Haider appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action for failure to prosecute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Haider v. Virginia State University, No. CA-98-386-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 8, 1999). 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 3
