PER CURIAM:

      James Marshall Smith appeals the district court’s orders

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss his racial discrimination

action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981-1983 (2000), Title VI of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-7 (2000), and the

Virginia Constitution and denying his motion for reconsideration.

We   have   reviewed   the   record   and   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Smith v. Godwin, No. CA-03-88-3 (E.D. Va. May 5, 2003; May 23,

2003).   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
