UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-1695

ROBERT W. HARRIS,

Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

PATRICK R. DONAHOE, Postmaster General, United States Postal Service,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:14-cv-00427-REP)

Submitted: November 24, 2015 Decided: December 22, 2015

Before WILKINSON and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Robert W. Harris, Appellant Pro Se. Elizabeth Wu, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Robert W. Harris appeals the district court’s order

dismissing this action alleging employment discrimination for

failure to state a claim, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). After de

novo review, see Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly,

550 U.S. 544, 555

(2007), we conclude that dismissal was proper. Even with a

liberal construction of the complaint, we find that Harris’

unintelligible factual allegations were insufficient to give

rise to an inference of liability and that his claims for relief

were largely unintelligible. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal,

556 U.S. 662, 679

(2009); Giarrantano v. Johnson,

521 F.3d 298, 302

(4th

Cir. 2015). We accordingly affirm. 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
