PER CURIAM:

          Franklin Basnight appeals the district court’s order

adopting in part and modifying in part the magistrate judge’s

report and recommendation to dismiss his hybrid action under the

Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. § 185 (2000), and

the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 151-169 (2000), and

dismissing all pending motions as moot.       We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.   See Basnight v. Hampton

Roads Shipping Ass’n, No. 2:04-cv-00782-WDK (E.D. Va. filed March

21, 2007; entered March 22, 2007).    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
