The opinion
PER CURIAM:
Norman L. Nichols, Jr., appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment for the Caroline County Board of Education on Nichols’s racial, gender, religion, and speech discrimination action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Nichols v. Caroline County Bd. of Educ., No. CA-02-3523-1-JFM (D.Md. Feb. 23, 2004). 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
