PER CURIAM:

          John L. Boyle, Jr. appeals the district court’s order

summarily dismissing his claims for religious discrimination and

retaliation for whistle blowing, based on Title VII of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2000); 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2000); the First Amendment; and the Public Policy of

the State of Maryland; and dismissing the remaining state law

claims without prejudice.   We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible    error.   Accordingly,    we   affirm   the   order    on   the

reasoning of the district court.      See Boyle v. Harford County, No.

CA-01-3200-BEL (D. Md. Apr. 1, 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
