MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

1

Plaintiff, Robert A. Bethel, appeals from an order of the district court granting summary judgment to defendant, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, in his lawsuit based upon claims of age discrimination and wrongful termination.

2

Having had the benefit of oral argument and having carefully considered the record on appeal and the briefs of the parties, we are not persuaded that the district court erred in granting summary judgment to defendant.

3

As the reasons why judgment should be entered for defendant have been articulated by the district court, the issuance of a full written opinion by this court would be duplicative and serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed upon the reasoning set out by that court in its Memorandum Opinion and Order dated April 4, 1995.
