STEWART v. ROSS (2021)

Fenyang Stewart appeals the district court's order (a) dismissing in part, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), the amended consolidated complaint in Stewart's consolidated employment actions, which related to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office terminating Stewart's employment in 2016; and (b) granting Defendants partial summary judgment on one of the claims asserted in the amended consolidated complaint. Upon review of the parties’ arguments in conjunction with the record on appeal and the relevant authorities, we discern no reversible error in the district court's thorough and well-reasoned analysis. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Stewart v. Ross, Nos. 1:18-cv-01369-LMB-TCB; 1:16-cv-00213-LMB-JFA, 2020 WL 1907471 (E.D. Va. Apr. 17, 2020). We deny Stewart's motion for leave to supplement his informal brief and for the 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
