Bernard C. Dusé, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Daniel Prywes, Anna C. Ursano, BRYAN & CAVE, L.L.P., Washington, D.C., for Appellee Barnes & Noble, Inc.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Bernard C. Dusé, Jr. appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment in favor of Barnes & Noble, Inc. ("Barnes & Noble") on his employment discrimination and retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2000), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 to 634 (2000). Dusé alleged that Barnes & Noble unlawfully discriminated against him on the basis of his race, age, and gender, and that he was retaliated against when he complained of the alleged

discrimination.

Dusé also appeals the district court's order

granting Barnes & Noble's motion to strike witnesses not disclosed by Dusé in discovery, claiming, in part, that the testimony of those witnesses would have bolstered his opposition to Barnes & Noble's motion for summary judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Dusé v. Barnes & Noble, Inc., No. 1:05-cv-01508-GBL-LO We dispense with oral argument because

(E.D. Va. Sept. 11, 2006).

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.
