Alphonzo Taylor, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Ondray Toney Harris, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Alphonzo Taylor, Sr. appeals the magistrate judge’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Appellee on Taylor’s hostile work environment and retaliation claims.* We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Taylor v. Virginia, No. CA-00-871 (E.D. Va. Dec. 17, 2001).

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

* The parties consented to the exercise of jurisdiction by a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) (1994).
