PER CURIAM:
Codi Evans appeals the magistrate judge’s* order granting Defendants summary
judgment on his numerous employment related claims. Through counsel, Evans challenges
only the court’s dismissal of his hostile work environment racial harassment claims, which
were brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1981. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the magistrate judge’s order. Evans v. Md. Nat’l
Cap. Parks & Planning Comm’n, No. 8:19-cv-02651-MJM (D. Md. Mar. 31, 2023). 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
* The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge, pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(c).
