Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Clifton Leon Webb appeals the district court’s order

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss Webb’s complaint alleging

claims under

42 U.S.C. §§ 1981

, 1983 (2012), and Title VII of

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e

to 2000e-17 (West 2008 & Supp. 2016) (Title VII). Webb

challenges on appeal only the district court’s dismissal of his

Title VII retaliation claim. We have considered Webb’s

arguments and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court. See Webb v. Univ.

of N.C., No. 1:15-cv-00268-LCB-JEP (M.D.N.C. Mar. 30, 2016). 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.
