PER CURIAM
Christopher Swindell appeals from the district court's order granting summary judgment to Defendants in his civil action for a hostile work environment based on race and retaliation, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, retaliation, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and wrongful discharge, in violation of North Carolina state law. Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that Swindell fails to establish reversible error by the district court. We therefore affirm its judgment. Swindell v. CACI NSS, Inc., No. 5:17-cv-00617-D (E.D. N.C. Sept. 30, 2020). 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
