See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Steven   Ward   appeals   the    district    court’s   order   granting

summary judgment to Appellee.        We have reviewed the record and the

district   court’s   opinion   accepting    the    recommendation    of   the

magistrate judge and find no reversible error.              Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Ward v. American

Med. Sys., Inc., No. CA-00-150-1 (W.D.N.C. Oct. 23, 2001).                 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
