PER CURIAM:
Fernando Lightfoot appeals the district court’s orders granting Defendants’
motions to dismiss his sexual harassment and retaliation claims, brought pursuant to Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2012 &
Supp. 2017), and his due process and state law tortious interference with employment
contract claims.

We have reviewed the record and have considered the parties’

arguments and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. See Lightfoot v. Richmond Pub. Sch., No. 3:16-cv-00910-REP (E.D.
Va.

Aug. 11, 2017).

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.
AFFIRMED
