See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Lawrence E. Bowling appeals the district court’s order award-
ing Bowling $500 in compensatory damages against Kenneth “Casey”
Lawson for slander and dismissing Bowling’s remaining claims
against Lawson. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Bowling v.
Lawson, No. CA-98-1158-2 (S.D.W. Va. July 21, 2000). We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
