UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Liam O'Grady, District Judge. (1:16-cv-01511-LO-MSN) Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Kristy J. Downing, Appellant Pro Se. Rebecca Sara Levenson, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Kristy J. Downing appeals the district court's orders dismissing her discrimination and retaliation claims, brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2012 & Supp. 2017), against the former interim Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Joseph Matal. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Downing v. Matal, No. 1:16-cv-01511-LO-MSN (E.D. Va., filed July 18, 2017 & entered July 19, 2017; filed Dec. 12, 2017 & entered Dec. 13, 2017; filed Jan. 22, 2018 & entered Jan. 23, 2018). 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
