PER CURIAM:
Donald Jensen appeals a district court order granting
summary judgment against him in his suit primarily alleging that
he was unlawfully retaliated against for speech protected by the
First Amendment and the North Carolina Whistleblower Act, see
N.C.G.S. § 126-84, et seq., and that he was temporarily barred
from campus in violation of his rights to due process under the
United States Constitution. We have reviewed the record and we
find no error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Jensen v. Western Carolina Univ.,
2012 WL
6728360 (W.D.N.C. Dec. 28, 2012). 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
