PER CURIAM:
Thomas J. E. Soul appeals the district court’s order
granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment on Soul’s
employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Soul v. Movado Retail Group, Inc.,
No. 1:07-cv-00365-GBL-BRP (Nov. 8, 2007). Moreover, we find the
district court neither abused its discretion in ordering Soul to
pay Movado’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Soul’s
failure to comply with discovery orders nor erred in declining to
provide Soul with court-appointed counsel. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
