    Michael R. WARD, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. James G. ROCHE, Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Air Force, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 01-1881.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Sept. 20, 2001.
    Decided Sept. 26, 2001.
    Michael R. Ward, pro Se. Lynne Ann Battaglia, Charles Joseph Peters, Sr., Michael Anthony DePietro, Office of the United States Attorney, Baltimore, MD, for appellee.
    Before LUTTIG, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Michael R. Ward appeals from the magistrate judge’s order granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Ward v. Peters, No. CA-98-1273-DKC (D.Md. May 29, 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. 
      
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
