McKEE, Chief Judge.


      *
         Honorable Richard G. Stearns, District Court Judge, District of Massachusetts,
sitting by designation.
              David Green appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in

favor of the Secretary of the Navy on Green’s Title VII discrimination and retaliation

claims. For the reasons set forth below, we will affirm.

       Since we are writing primarily for the parties who are familiar with this case, we

need not recite the factual or procedural history of this dispute, the background of which

has been ably summarized by the district court. See Green v. Winter, No. 08-140, 

(E.D. Pa. Sept. 24, 2009).

       In his detailed and thoughtful opinion, Judge Buckwalter carefully and clearly

explained his reasons for granting the motion for summary judgment on the same issues

raised on appeal. See Green, 

. Since we can add little to Judge

Buckwalter’s analysis, we will affirm the order granting summary judgment substantially

for the reasons set forth in his opinion.
