PER CURIAM:
James Semme Frazier appeals the district court’s order grant-
ing Secretary Richard J. Danzig of the Department of the Navy his
motion to dismiss or in the alternative for summary judgment. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no
reversible error. We find that the district court did not abuse
its discretion by denying Frazier’s motion for a stay of the pro-
ceedings. We further find that Frazier failed to establish that
the legitimate non-discriminatory reason given for his removal was
a pretext for discrimination. Accordingly, we affirm. 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
