PER CURIAM: 

Jerdonnis Murray appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing for failure to state a claim his complaint alleging 

retaliation, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 

of 1964 (“Title VII”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2012), 

and common law negligence. We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error.∗ Accordingly, we affirm the district 

court’s order. 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

 ∗ See Boyer-Liberto v. Fountainbleau Corp., 786 F.3d 264, 

284 (4th Cir. 2015) (en banc) (holding that hostile work 

environment claim may be predicated on isolated incident if 

harassment is physically threatening or humiliating); Wrightson 

v. Pizza Hut of Am., Inc., 99 F.3d 138, 142 (4th Cir. 1996) 

(recognizing that Title VII does not protect against sexual 

orientation discrimination).
