Williams v. School of Professional Studies in Business & Education John Hopkins University

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-1489 WAYNE E. WILLIAMS, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES IN BUSINESS AND EDUCATION JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Catherine C. Blake, District Judge. (CA- 01-842-CCB) Submitted: July 12, 2001 Decided: July 26, 2001 Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and MOTZ,* Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Wayne E. Williams, Appellant Pro Se. * Judge Motz did not participate in consideration of this case. The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d) (1994). Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Wayne E. Williams appeals the district court’s order dismiss- ing his civil complaint in which he alleged racial discrimination claims. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* See Williams v. School of Prof’l Studies in Bus. and Educ. John Hopkins Univ., No. CA-01-842- CCB (D. Md. filed Mar. 22, 2001; entered Mar. 23, 2001). We dis- pense 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 * In regard to Williams’ claims concerning his March 2000 application, we generally do not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal, except under narrow circumstances not present here. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993) (holding that issues raised for the first time on appeal generally will not be considered absent plain error or fundamental miscarriage of justice). 2
