Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant M’malani appeals the district court's grant of sum- mary judgment to Newport News Shipyard and Drydock Company on his claim of employment discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C.A. §§ 621-634 (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. M'malani v. Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., No. CA-97-7-4 (E.D. Va. Jan. 5, 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 deci- sional process.
