    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    SUPERIOR BANK, FSB,
    Defendant - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge.
    (CA-00-3785-AW)
    Submitted:   December 19, 2002          Decided:     December 30, 2002
    Before WILKINS and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    William K. Avery, Appellant Pro Se. Alison E. Goldenberg, GORDON,
    FEINBLATT, ROTHMAN, HOFFBERGER & HOLLANDER, Baltimore, Maryland;
    Ava Elaine Lias-Booker, David Eugene Ralph, SAUL EWING, L.L.P.,

    CORPORATION, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    William   K.   Avery    filed   a    complaint   alleging     race
    discrimination in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 
    15 U.S.C. § 1691
     (2000), and related state law claims.     The case was
    tried before a jury and the district court entered judgment as a
    matter of law in favor of the Defendant as to all counts. Avery
    appeals.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
    statements from the bench.    The court properly found that Avery
    failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination and that,
    in any event, the Defendant presented legitimate, nondiscriminatory
    reasons for the denial of credit.        Accordingly, we affirm.     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
