PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his pro se employment discrimination action under FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b).

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason- ing of the district court. O'Neal v. Cook Motorcars, Ltd., No. CA- 96-1816-L (D. Md. Apr. 3, 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 deci- sional process.

AFFIRMED
