versus

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Danville. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District Judge. (CA-01-53-4)

Submitted: November 21, 2002 Decided: November 27, 2002

Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Charles W. Ezell, Appellant Pro Se. James Phillip Naughton, Sara Lynne Berg, HUNTON & WILLIAMS, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Charles W. Ezell appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment in favor of his former employer in this action

under the Americans with Disabilities Act. We have reviewed the

record and agree with the district court that Ezell failed to file

a timely charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission and that the facts did not warrant

application of the doctrine of equitable tolling or equitable

estoppel. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Ezell v. Dan River, Inc., No. CA-01-53-4 (W.D. Va.

Apr. 3, 2002). 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.
