UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 19-1084
DILLON MVURI,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
AMERICAN AIRLINES, INCORPORATED,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at
Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:18-cv-00797-LMB-JFA)
Submitted: August 29, 2019 Decided: September 12, 2019
Before KING, THACKER, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed in part and dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Dillon Mvuri, Appellant Pro Se. Daniel E. Farrington, FISHER & PHILLIPS LLP,
Bethesda, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Dillon Mvuri appeals the district court’s order granting American Airlines, Inc.’s
motion for summary judgment in Mvuri’s action brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 2012 & Supp. 2019), and
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C.A. §§ 621 to 634 (West
2018). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of American Airlines, Inc.
for the reasons stated by the district court. Mvuri v. Am. Airlines, Inc., No. 1:18-cv-00797-
LMB-JFA (E.D. Va. Jan. 11, 2019).
Mvuri also moves for leave to file a supplemental brief challenging the magistrate
judge’s denial of his motions to compel discovery and to amend the complaint.
Nondispositive matters may be referred to a magistrate judge without the parties’ consent.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). If a party opposes a magistrate judge’s order on a nondispositive
matter, the party must “file objections to the order within 14 days after being served with
a copy.”
Id. Significantly, Rule 72(a) provides that “[a] party may not assign as error a
defect in the [magistrate judge’s] order not timely objected to.” Id.; see also Solis v.
Malkani,
638 F.3d 269, 274 (4th Cir. 2011) (noting that failure to object to magistrate
judge’s determinations in either dispositive or nondispositive matters waives further
review). Mvuri did not appeal to the district court from the magistrate judge’s decisions
denying his motions to compel discovery and to amend the complaint. Therefore, although
we grant the motion to file a supplemental brief, we dismiss Mvuri’s appeal of the
magistrate judge’s orders.

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.
