Gene M. Munson, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Parker, Rachel Celia Ballow, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Gene M. Munson appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the Appellees in his

employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record and

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

of the district court. See Munson v. Evans, No. CA-04-181 (E.D.

Va. Sept. 27, 2004). 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
