Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Geoffrey R. Akers appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants in his

employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. Akers v. Gutierrez, No.

1:07-cv-01000-CMH-TCB (E.D. Va. filed July 30, 2008 & entered

Aug. 1, 2008). We deny Akers’ motion for a copy of the record.

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
