PER CURIAM:
Dr. Jamshid Farshidi appeals the district court’s order
awarding $5000 in attorney’s fees to Defendant, the prevailing
party in this Title VII action. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k) (2000);
Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d). We conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion, and we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Farshidi v. Norfolk State Univ., No. CA-03-56-
2 (E.D. Va. filed Nov. 15, 2004; entered Nov. 16, 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
