Before REAVLEY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Avaine Strong, pro se, sued his employer, Grambling State University, 

and various other defendants, complaining of his treatment as a university 

employee. The district court observed that “it is difficult to discern the basis 

on which Strong is claiming discrimination―his race, gender, status as heterosexual.” Nonetheless, the court dismissed, concluding that “Strong’s claims 

are wholly unsupported and meritless.” 

We agree. The district court admirably supported its conclusions with a 

detailed, eighteen-page Memorandum Ruling signed on March 25, 2015. Nothing in this record suggests a violation of law. The judgment is AFFIRMED, 

essentially for the reasons assigned by the district court. Strong’s motion to 

strike is DENIED.

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.
