PER CURIAM:

Brian Christopher Robinson appeals the district 

court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss his claim 

under the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d) (2006), as well as 

his claims for wrongful termination, intentional infliction of 

emotional distress, and breach of contract, and denying his 

motion to stay the district court proceedings pending discovery 

and for issuance of a scheduling order. We have reviewed the 

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny 

Robinson’s motions for oral argument and to refer "special 

matters" to the United States Attorney General, pursuant to Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 9(b), and affirm the district court’s judgment. See

Robinson v. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, No. 

1:07-cv-02102-BEL (D. Md. Sept. 25, 2008). 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
