PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court’s order dismissing this action under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1415(e) (1994), and their pendant claims of civil rights violations. 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. Tyson v. Kanawha Cnty Bd. Educ., No. CA-96-904-2 (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 29, 1997).
