ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

PAUL J. KELLY, JR., Circuit Judge.

1

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

2

Plaintiff Dudley R. Edwards, Jr., appearing pro se, appeals the district court's summary judgment dismissal of his complaint alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

3

"We review the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo, applying the same standard used by the district court under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)." Novell, Inc. v. Federal Ins. Co., 141 F.3d 983, 985 (10th Cir.1998). After a thorough review of the record, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its order dated October 3, 1997, granting summary judgment.

The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico is AFFIRMED.
