PER CURIAM:
Joseph Gilreath filed a disability discrimination action
against his employer, Cumberland County Board of Education
(“CCBE”), pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act,
raising a failure to accommodate claim and a retaliation claim.
He appeals the district court’s order granting CCBE’s motion for
a directed verdict on his failure to accommodate claim, the jury
verdict in favor of CCBE on his retaliation claim, and the
district court’s order denying his various posttrial motions.
We have reviewed the proceedings below, including the
transcripts of the trial and the district court’s orders, and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Gilreath v. Cumberland
Cty. Bd. of Educ., No. 5:11-cv-00627-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 5, 2014;
Nov. 7, 2014; Jan. 27, 2015). We further deny Gilreath’s motion
for the appointment of counsel. 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
