PER CURIAM:
William M. Nobles appeals the district court’s order applying
the doctrine of laches to his claim and entering summary judgment
in favor of the Defendants. We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. According-
ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Nobles v.
Carlin America, Inc., No. CA-99-98-4-H (E.D.N.C. June 20, 2000).
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
