PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order adopting the

magistrate judge's recommendation and dismissing his employment

discrimination action for failure to conduct discovery and failure

to prosecute. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find no abuse of discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Taylor v. Fresh
Fields Markets, Inc., No. CA-94-55-C (W.D. Va. June 27, 1996). 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.
