PER CURIAM:

      William M. Nobles appeals the district court’s order applying

the doctrine of laches to his claim and entering summary judgment

in favor of the Defendants.       We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.           According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.            Nobles v.

Carlin America, Inc., No. CA-99-98-4-H (E.D.N.C. June 20, 2000).

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
