(8:18-cv-03175-GJH) Submitted: February 5, 2021 Before NIEMEYER, KEENAN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Joshua Fuller-Deets, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Decided: March 24, 2021 PER CURIAM: Joshua Fuller-Deets appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) on Fuller-Deets’ complaint challenging NIH’s prohibition against bringing a service dog-in-training to his job on the NIH campus. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Fuller-Deets v. National Institutes of Health, No. 8:18-cv-03175-GJH (D. Md. Jan. 15, 2020). 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
