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
