Frederick E. Melvin, Appellant Pro Se. Richard M. Wiggins, MCCOY, WEAVER, WIGGINS, CLEVELAND & RAPER, Fayetteville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Frederick E. Melvin appeals the district court’s order grant-

ing the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment on his employment

discrimination complaint. 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. See Melvin v.

Kelly Springfield Tire Corp., No. CA-99-599-5-BO (E.D.N.C. May 5,

2000). 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
