PER CURIAM: Emmanuel J. DeMesme, Jr. appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Montgomery County on DeMesme’s 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) claim alleging due process vio- lations and employment discrimination. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

DeMesme failed to present evidence to support his allegations that Montgomery County violated his substantive due process rights. See County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833 (1998). DeMesme also failed to present evidence to support a prima facie case of em- ployment discrimination. See St. Mary’s Honor Ctr. v. Hicks, 509 U.S. 502, 506 (1993). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
