PER CURIAM:
Tafadzwa Nhira appeals the district court’s order granting
summary judgment to Defendants on his whistleblower claim under
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1514A (2012), and his claims
of retaliation, failure to promote, discriminatory discharge,
and discriminatory compensation, in violation of Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to
2000e–17 (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. * Nhira v. Thompson Hospitality, No. 1:14-
cv-00676-WMN (D. Md. Sept. 8, 2016). 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
*To the extent that Nhira’s informal brief challenges the
district court’s dismissal of Morgan State University and Bowie
State University, Nhira did not identify the district court’s
dismissal orders in his notice of appeal, and consequently, we
lack jurisdiction to consider those orders. See Fed. R. App. P.
3(c)(1)(B); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 176-77 (4th Cir.
2014). Furthermore, insofar as Nhira requests remand because
the district court decided Defendants’ motion for summary
judgment before Defendants answered Nhira’s requests for
admissions, we discern no abuse of discretion by the district
court. See United States ex rel. Becker v. Westinghouse
Savannah River Co., 305 F.3d 284, 290 (4th Cir. 2002).
