Christopher Benjamin v. Dale Inman

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Christopher Benjamin appeals the district court’s order granting in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss Benjamin’s complaint alleging a state retaliatory employment discrimination claim, and violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2003 & Supp. 2011), and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985 (2006). * Benjamin further appeals a sub *252 sequent order granting summary judgment to Defendant Love on Benjamin’s § 1983 claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Benjamin v. Inman, No. 5:09-cv-00553-FL (E.D.N.C. Aug. 5, 2010); 2011 WL 1897443 (May 18, 2011). 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.

*

Benjamin’s appeal from this order was interlocutory when filed. The district court's subsequent entry of a final judgment permits review of the order under the doctrine of *252 cumulative finality. See In re Bryson, 406 F.3d 284, 287-89 (4th Cir. 2005); Equip. Fin. Group, Inc. v. Traverse Computer Brokers, 973 F.2d 345, 347 (4th Cir. 1992).
