ELAINE HARDMAN; DR. DONALD A. PRIMERANO; DR. RICHARD EGLETON, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Huntington. Robert C. Chambers, District Judge. (3:17-cv-03008-RCC) Submitted: September 27, 2021 Decided: January 11, 2022 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and WILKINSON and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Wei-ping Zeng, Appellant Pro Se. Brian Dale Morrison, OXLEY RICH SAMMONS, Huntington, West Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Wei-Ping Zeng appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge, granting summary judgment to Defendants on Zeng’s civil claims, and denying Zeng leave to file a third amended complaint in his action challenging the denial of tenure and the termination of his employment at Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Having reviewed the record and finding no reversible error, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We deny Zeng’s motion to file exhibits * and 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 * These exhibits were already included in the record on appeal. 2
