PER CURIAM:
Mwabira Simera appeals the district court’s order denying his motions to file a
second amended complaint and for summary judgment and granting Defendants’ motion
to dismiss. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s
finding that res judicata barred Simera’s action.* Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. Simera v. Morgan State Univ., No. 1:21-cv-00440-CCB (D. Md. Feb. 24,
2022). 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
* Simera did not challenge the district court’s denial of the motions to amend and
for summary judgment. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
