    Alan H. Garber, Gordon, Silberman, Wiggins & Childs, P.C., Atlanta, GA, for Kollman.
    Norman J. Slawsky, Jacobs & Slawsky, P.A., Paul R. Beshears, Peter B. Murphy, Smith, Currie & Hancock, LLP, Walter J. Kruger, III, Todd Stanton, Fisher & Phillips, Atlanta, GA, for Defendants-Appel-lees.
    Before BARKETT and HILL, Circuit Judges, and FORRESTER , District Judge.
    
      
       Honorable J. Owen Forrester, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, sitting by designation.
    
   PER CURIAM:

After a thorough review of the record and the law relevant to this case, we AFFIRM the district court’s grants of summary judgment. With regard to Koll-man’s hybrid § 301/fair representation claims, we find that Kollman has failed to advance sufficient evidence to support his § 301 claim. Because we find that Koll-man’s fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims have no merit, we need not decide if they are precluded by Georgia’s Workers’ Compensation Act. We agree with the district court’s conclusion that under Georgia law, Holder cannot be held liable for tortious interference because Holder was not a “stranger” to Kollman’s employment agreement.

AFFIRMED. 
      
      . We deny Holder’s motion for sanctions.
