(1:21-cv-00440-CCB) Submitted: June 28, 2022 Decided: June 30, 2022 Before NIEMEYER and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Mwabira Simera, Appellant Pro Se. Lillian Lane Reynolds, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Mwabira Simera appeals the district court’s order denying his motions to file a second amended complaint and for summary judgment and granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s finding that res judicata barred Simera’s action. * Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Simera v. Morgan State Univ., No. 1:21-cv-00440-CCB (D. Md. Feb. 24, 2022). 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 Simera did not challenge the district court’s denial of the motions to amend and for summary judgment. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). * 3
