PER CURIAM:

Don Beads appeals the district court’s order granting 

Defendants summary judgment on Beads’ race discrimination 

claims, brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of

1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2012), 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 (2012), and Article 24 of the Maryland Declaration 

of Rights. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the 

district court. Beads v. Md. State Police, No. 1:12-cv-03219-

WDQ (D. Md. Jan. 13, 2016). We dispense with oral argument 

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented 

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid 

the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
