    Said M. KARARA, Appellant, v. COUNTY OF TAZEWELL, VIRGINIA, Appellee.
    No. 78-1476.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Argued May 8, 1979.
    Decided July 12, 1979.
    James P. Jones, Abingdon, Va. (Penn, Stuart, Eskridge & Jones, Abingdon, Va., on brief), for appellant.
    Norris Kantor, Bluefield, W. Va. (Katz, Kantor, Katz, Perkins & Cameron, Blue-field, W. Va., Robert M. Galumbeck, Taze-well, Va., County Atty., on brief), for appellee.
    Before RUSSELL, Circuit Judge, FIELD, Senior Circuit Judge, and WIDENER, Circuit Judge.
   PER CURIAM:

Appellant instituted this diversity action alleging breach of contract by the County of Tazewell. The district court found that appellant had failed to comply with a state statute which required him to appeal the County’s denial of his claim within thirty days of receiving notice of that denial, that such failure would constitute a bar to his action in state court, and thus was a bar to his federal diversity action. We find no error in such ruling and affirm the dismissal of the appellant’s action on the opinion of the district court.

AFFIRMED.
