Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Lawrence Suid appeals the district court’s order granting sum- mary judgment in favor of the Defendant in his employment discrim- ination action. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af- firm on the reasoning of the district court. See Suid v. Secretary of Navy, No. CA-98-170-A (E.D. Va. Sept. 23, 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
