PER CURIAM:

James L. Wooten, Jr., appeals the district court’s order 

granting summary judgment in favor of Martin Gruenberg, Chairman 

of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, on Wooten’s race 

discrimination and retaliation claims brought pursuant to Title 

VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. 

§§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2012 & Supp. 2016). We have reviewed 

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

for the reasons stated by the district court. See Wooten v. 

Gruenberg, No. 1:15-cv-00724-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. Apr. 4, 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
