PER CURIAM:

Emmanuel Tagai, who was formerly employed as a respiratory care therapist with 

Holy Cross Health, Inc. (“Holy Cross”), appeals from the district court’s order granting 

Holy Cross summary judgment on Tagai’s claims alleging he was discriminatorily 

terminated from his employment because of his race, color, and national origin, in violation 

of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2018); 42 

U.S.C. § 1981 (2018); Md. Code Ann., State Gov’t Title 20 (West 2017); and Art. 1, § 27-

19 of the Montgomery County Code. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Tagai v. Holy 

Cross Health, Inc., No. 8:18-cv-01742-PWG (D. Md. Nov. 12, 2019). 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
