        PER CURIAM:

               Martha Hoelzer appeals the district court orders (1) granting Defendants’ motion to

        dismiss Hoelzer’s discrimination and retaliation claims, brought pursuant to the Americans

        with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 to 12213; retaliation claim, brought pursuant to

        the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601 to 2654; and claims alleging

        Defendants violated her due process rights in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and denying

        Hoelzer’s motion for leave to amend the amended complaint; and (2) granting Daniel

        Lebold’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) motion for judgment on the pleadings on Hoelzer’s § 1983

        claim against him. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

        we affirm the district court’s judgment. Hoelzer v. Bd. of Governors of the Univ. of N.C.,

        No. 1:20-cv-01072-LCB-LPA (M.D.N.C. Mar. 13, 2023). 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

                                                     3
