John Yulee Richardson, Jr., Daniel R. Hagemeister, CITY ATTORNEY’S
OFFICE, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Franklin D. Howlett appeals the magistrate judge’s order
granting summary judgment to his former employer and order denying
a motion to reconsider under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). We have re-
viewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opinions and find no
reversible error.* Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Howlett v. School Board of the City of Nor-
folk, No. CA-00-168-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 15, 2000) (for reasons as
stated from the bench); Howlett v. School Board of the City of
Norfolk, No. CA-00-168-2 (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 9, 2001; entered
Apr. 10, 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 magistrate judge’s jurisdiction
under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 73.
