    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM:

Harry Waldo Nickelson, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing for failure to state a claim his complaint arising out of the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals’ failure to renew Nickelson’s security clearance. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Nickelson v. United States, No. CA-03-51-4 (E.D.Va. Sept. 26, 2003). We grant Nickelson’s unopposed motion to take judicial notice of statutes and administrative materials filed as an appendix to his brief. 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
