UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Senior District Judge. (1:16-cv-01454-CMH-MSN) Before AGEE and FLOYD, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Christopher Chin-Young, Appellant Pro Se. Dennis Carl Barghaan, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Christopher Chin-Young appeals the district court's order granting Defendants' post-remand motion to dismiss Chin-Young's several claims related to his former federal employment. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Chin-Young v. United States, No. 1:16-cv-01454-CMH-MSN (E.D. Va. Dec. 16, 2019). 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.

After previously determining that a prior settlement agreement and a Merit Systems Protection Board decision barred most of Chin-Young's claims, we remanded the matter to the district court to determine in the first instance, what, if any, additional claims were not previously litigated. See Chin-Young v. United States, 774 F. App'x 106, 118 (4th Cir. 2019) (Nos. 17-2013/2017). On remand, the district court parsed through Chin-Young's complaint in compliance with our mandate and, after identifying several possible claims, nonetheless found those claims to be meritless. --------

AFFIRMED
