See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          James Guseh appeals the district court’s order accepting*

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his

employment discrimination action.    We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.       Guseh v. North Carolina Central

Univ., No. 1:04-cv-00042-JAB (M.D.N.C. Mar. 13, 2006). 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

     *
      The  district   court   accepted  the   magistrate   judge’s
recommendation with one exception: the court found that Guseh’s
claim under the North Carolina Constitution was not barred by
sovereign immunity, Corum v. Univ. of N.C., 413 S.E.2d 276, 289-92
(N.C. 1992), but rather, was barred because such direct
constitutional claims may only proceed in the absence of an
alternative state remedy. Id.; Ware v. Fort, 478 S.E.2d 218, 222
(N.C. App. 1996).
