BRAITHWAITE, Secretary of the United States Department of the Navy, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Newport News. Mark S. Davis, Chief District Judge. (4:19-cv-00001-MSD-DEM) Submitted: November 17, 2020 Decided: November 19, 2020 Before MOTZ and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Sheldon Johnson, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Kent Pendleton Porter, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Sheldon Johnson, Sr., appeals the district court’s order granting the Secretary of the United States Department of the Navy’s motion to dismiss Johnson’s complaint alleging claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 to 634. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. See Johnson v. Braithwaite, No. 4:19-cv-00001-MSD-DEM (E.D. Va. Apr. 2, 2020). We deny Johnson’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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 2
