See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Tony Lovette appeals the district court’s order granting
summary judgment in favor of his former employer, Sonoco Products
Company, in his civil action alleging employment discrimination and
wrongful termination. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. See Lovette v. Sonoco Prods. Co.,
No. CA-99-437-3-17 (D.S.C. Sept. 11, 2001). 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
