Gregory Allen ROYAL, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Michelle K. LEE, Director, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; Penny Pritzker; Jeh Johnson; Bismarck Myrick, Director, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Office of EEO and Diversity; Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary, United States Department of Commerce (Patent and Trademark Office); Kirstjen M. Nielson, Secretary, Department of Homeland Security Federal Protective Services; Andrei Iancu, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Defendants-Appellees.
Gregory Allen Royal appeals the district court's orders granting summary judgment to his former employer and denying reconsideration on Royal's claims of racial and gender discrimination and retaliation, which Royal filed pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2018). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Royal v. Lee, No. 1:17-cv-00261-TSE-TCB (E.D. Va. Feb. 28, 2019 & Apr. 18, 2019). We grant Royal's motions to supplement his informal brief, for judicial notice to correct a typographical error in his transcript request, and to proceed in forma pauperis, and we deny Royal's motions to extend the filing time for a transcript and for a transcript at government expense. 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.
