PER CURIAM:

          Appellants appeal the district court’s order denying

their motion to dismiss Appellee’s Rehabilitation Act claims on

the basis of sovereign immunity.        We have reviewed the record

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

reasons stated by the district court.      Chase v. Baskerville, No.

3:04-cv-759-HEH (E.D. Va. Aug. 2, 2007).       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
