Sheron THORNTON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY & CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, (DPSCS), Defendant - Appellee, Stephen T. Moyer, Secretary; Joseph Clocker, Director of Parole and Probation; Brenda Miller, Human Resources, DPSCS; James Fox, Employee Relations, Department of Budget and Management; Larry Hogan, Governor; Secretary Brinkley, Defendants.
Sheron Thornton appeals the magistrate judge’s * order granting summary judgment to her former employer on her claims that she was retaliated against for opposing race and age discrimination, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2018), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634 (2018). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. Thornton v. Dep’t of Pub. Safety & Corr. Servs., No. 1:16-cv-03028-ADC, 2019 WL 1118064 (D. Md. Mar. 11, 2019). 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.
