PER CURIAM:

Clifton Leon Webb appeals the district court’s order 

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss Webb’s complaint alleging 

claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983 (2012), and Title VII of 

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e 

to 2000e-17 (West 2008 & Supp. 2016) (Title VII). Webb 

challenges on appeal only the district court’s dismissal of his 

Title VII retaliation claim. We have considered Webb’s 

arguments and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm 

for the reasons stated by the district court. See Webb v. Univ. 

of N.C., No. 1:15-cv-00268-LCB-JEP (M.D.N.C. Mar. 30, 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
