PER CURIAM:

1
The plaintiff, Mark Baron, was formerly an attorney in the dispute resolution division of the Virginia Department for the Rights of the Disabled.  He was terminated in December of 1988 for poor performance.  Ultimately, he brought this suit, claiming that this firing violated his clearly established rights, in an attempt to state a claim under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  After full discovery, both parties moved for summary judgment.  The district judge granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case.  Baron appeals this dismissal.  We find no merit to the appeal and affirm the dismissal of this case upon the reasoning of the district judge as set forth in his memorandum opinion.  Baron v. Hodgins, CA-88-832-R (E.D.Va. Apr. 19, 1989).

AFFIRMED
