PER CURIAM:
Michael Andre Artis appeals the district court’s order
accepting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation to
grant Defendant’s summary judgment motion on his claims
asserting unlawful discharge and retaliatory refusal to rehire,
in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2000), the Labor and
Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. § 185 (2006), and
Virginia law. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Artis’s motion for
production of transcript at government expense and affirm the
district court’s order. See Artis v. Newport News
Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., No. 4:07-cv-00054-RBS-JEB (E.D. Va.
Nov. 4, 2008). 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
