Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order granting the Defendants' motion to dismiss his complaint alleging age discrim- ination in the making of a loan, because it was barred by the applicable statute of limitations.* We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accord- ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gillis v. Crestar Bank, No. CA-97-455-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 6, 1997). 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

* A two-year statute of limitations applies to Appellant's claim. See 15 U.S.C.A. § 1691e(f) (West 1998).
