See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James Marshall Smith appeals the district court’s orders
granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss his racial discrimination
action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981-1983 (2000), Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-7 (2000), and the
Virginia Constitution and denying his motion for reconsideration.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Smith v. Godwin, No. CA-03-88-3 (E.D. Va. May 5, 2003; May 23,
2003). 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
