PER CURIAM:

Julio Washington appeals the district court’s judgment

granting summary judgment to the defendants and dismissing his

employment discrimination complaint. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. See Washington v. Hampton Roads,

CA-01-880-2 (E.D. Va. May 31, 2002). Having granted the motion to

submit the case on briefs, we dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal conclusions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
