Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Harold Skipper appeals the district court’s orders
denying his request for appointment of counsel and granting summary
judgment in his employment discrimination action in favor of his
former employer, Cobb-Vantress, Inc. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error.* Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Skipper v. Cobb-Vantress,
Inc., No. 3:05-cv-00076 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 26 & 27, 2007). We dispense
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 his informal brief, Skipper alleged that defense counsel
had an ex parte meeting with the district court judge, and that the
district court failed to review the evidence prior to granting
summary judgment. However, Skipper has provided no evidence to
support these claims and has failed to identify any materials that
were not reviewed by the district court. Accordingly, we find
Skipper’s claims to be meritless.
