UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 13-1174 EMMETT JOHNSON JAFARI, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. THE OLD DOMINION TRANSIT MANAGEMENT COMPANY, a/k/a The Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC), Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr., District Judge. (3:08-cv-00629-JRS-DJN) Submitted: July 29, 2013 Decided: August 12, 2013 Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and DUNCAN and AGEE, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Emmett Johnson Jafari, Appellant Pro Se. Sarah Bruscia, Patricia Sjoblom Gill, Ryan Ayers Glasgow, Gregory Branch Robertson, Charles Randolph Sullivan, HUNTON & WILLIAMS, LLP, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Emmett Johnson Jafari appeals the district court’s order granting GRTC’s motion for summary judgment in Jafari’s action alleging common law defamation and retaliation in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and a subsequent order denying Jafari’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Jafari v. The Old Dominion Transit Mgmt. Co., No. 3:08-cv-00629-JRS-DJN (E.D. Va. Dec. 20, 2012 & Jan. 7, 2013). We further deny Jafari’s motion to strike GRTC’s informal response brief. 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 2
