PER CURIAM:

               Barry    P.    Grass   appeals      the   district    court’s    orders

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendations and denying relief

in his civil action alleging claims against his former employer and

physician.       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district       court.         Grass   v.    Eastern      Assoc.     Coal.    Co.,   No.

2:05-cv-00496 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 23, 2006; filed Aug. 28, 2006 &

entered Aug. 30, 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

                                           - 3 -
