                                      OPINION
                               _______________________


 This disposition is not an opinion of the full court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.
McKEE, Circuit Judge.

          Dorothy Stewart appeals the district court’s granting of Megan J. Brennan’s

motion to dismiss. As the district court explains, by signing the Claim Form and Release

in the Pittman class action on June 14, 2014, Stewart released “any right … to appeal the

[s]ettlement [a]greement to the EEOC, any right … to file a civil action in a federal court

related to the claims in this case, and any other right [she] might have to seek relief for a

claim included within the Pittman class action.”1

           The district court’s well-reasoned opinion more than adequately addresses this

and Stewart’s related claims, and we will therefore affirm substantially for the reasons set

forth in that opinion.
