PER CURIAM:
Tajudin
entering

Jarallah

judgment

in

appeals

the

Defendants’

district

favor

on

court’s

order

Jarallah’s

civil

claims against Defendants, including his claims under Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e
to 2000e-17 (2012) (“Title VII”).
and find no reversible error.

We have reviewed the record

Accordingly, we grant Jarallah’s

motion to file an informal supplemental brief and we affirm the
district court’s
01772-DKC

(D.

order. *

Md.

Aug.

Jarallah v. Thompson,
17,

2015).

We

No. 8:14-cv-

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.

AFFIRMED

*

Although the district court did not apply the hybrid test
for determining Title VII joint employment, see Butler v. Drive
Auto. Indus., 793 F.3d 404, 408-10, 414-15 (4th Cir. 2015), the
record confirms the district court’s conclusion that the
institutional Defendants were not Jarallah’s “employer” under
Title VII.
