PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting Defen- dant’s motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the record and the dis- trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Barnes v. Lowe’s Companies, Inc., No. CA-97-1040-5-BO (E.D.N.C. May 14, 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 decisional process.

AFFIRMED
