Opinion

NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT _____________ No. 18-3262 _____________ DOROTHY M. STEWART, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, Appellant v. POSTMASTER GENERAL UNITED STATES ______________ On Appeal from United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (District Court No. 3-17-cv-00167) District Judge: Honorable Brian R. Martinotti ______________ Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) July 8, 2019 ______________ Before: McKEE, ROTH, and RENDELL, Circuit Judges.

(Opinion filed: January 29, 2020) _______________________ 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.
