PER CURIAM:
Plaintiff Sara Noshafagh, an American citizen of Iranian
origin who immigrated to the United States in 1997, initiated
this action in the District of Maryland in 2011, alleging claims
of national origin discrimination and retaliation in violation
of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition,
Noshafagh sought to pursue a state law claim for invasion of
privacy. On appeal, Noshafagh challenges the court’s award of
summary judgment in favor of the defendants. See Noshafagh v.
Leggett, No. 8:11-cv-3038 (D. Md. Jan. 7, 2013), ECF No. 19.
After a careful review of the various briefs, the appellate
record, and the applicable legal principles, we are compelled to
conclude that the district court did not err in awarding summary
judgment to the defendants. We are therefore satisfied to
affirm on the well-reasoned opinion of the district court, as
filed on January 7, 2013. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before our court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
