PER CURIAM:
Peter R. Sutherland appeals the district court’s order grant-
ing summary judgment in favor of his former employer, Autumn Cor-
poration, in his civil action alleging retaliatory discharge in
violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42
U.S.C.A. §§ 12101-12213 (West 1995 & Supp. 1999). 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 Sutherland v. Autumn Corp., No. CA-98-270-4-T (W.D.N.C.
Dec. 14, 2000). Further, we deny Sutherland’s motion to proceed in
forma pauperis on appeal. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
