SAADAT A. SIDDIQUI,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

NORTHERN TELECOM INCORPORATED,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, District Judge. (CA-97-260-5-H2))

Submitted: November 16, 1999 Decided: December 8, 1999

Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Saadat A. Siddiqui, Appellant Pro Se. Frank Pelouze Ward, Jr., MAUPIN, TAYLOR & ELLIS, P.A., Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Saadat Siddiqui appeals the district court’s order denying his

claims of employment discrimination and retaliation filed pursuant

to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e -

2000e-17 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). 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. See

Siddiqui v. Northern Telecom, Inc., No. CA-97-260-5-H2 (E.D.N.C.

May 20, 1999). We deny Siddiqui’s motion to reconsider our order

granting the Appellee an extension of time to file its informal

brief. Further, we deny Siddiqui’s motion to reconsider our order

denying his motion to reject the Appellee’s informal brief.

Siddiqui’s motion for an extension of time to file a reply after

our action on these motions is likewise denied. Finally, we deny

Siddiqui’s motion to submit all motions to the panel for immediate

ruling; his motions have been submitted to the panel in accordance

with the court’s standard case processing procedures. 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
