      Appeal from the United States District Court for the
                    Western District of Texas
                       USDC No. A-94-CV-649
_________________________________________________________________
                          August 1, 1996
Before JOLLY, JONES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Riad E. Hamad, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, appeals the

district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of H.E.B. Food

Stores ("HEB"), dismissing Hamad's claims under Title VII of the

Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and the Age

discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq..     Hamad

     *
      Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
contends that HEB failed to promote him to its store management and

distribution management trainee programs because of Hamad's race,

national origin, and age.   Hamad also contends that HEB terminated

him prematurely in retaliation for his intention to complain about

the discriminatory treatment.

     After conducting a de novo review of the record and the

parties' briefs, we perceive no reversible error in the district

court's decision.   See Bodenheimer v. PPG Indus., 5 F.3d 955, 956

(5th Cir. 1993).     Accordingly, we AFFIRM for essentially the

reasons adopted by the district court.   Hamad v. H E B Food Stores,

No. A-94-CV-649 (W.D. Tex. Nov. 7, 1995).
