Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert Sharpe appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his discrimination complaint for failure to state a
claim. A court should not dismiss a complaint for failure to state
a claim unless, after accepting as true the factual allegations of
the challenged complaint and drawing all inferences in favor of the
plaintiff, it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no
set of facts that would entitle him to relief. Lambeth v. Board of
Comm’rs of Davidson County,
407 F.3d 266, 268 (4th Cir.), cert.
denied,
546 U.S. 1015 (2005). We find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district
court’s order. See Sharpe v. Nat’l R.R. Passenger Corp., No. 7:06-
cv-00057-FL (E.D.N.C. Dec. 28, 2006). 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
