PER CURIAM:

      Jay Kruise appeals the district court’s order dismissing his claims against the

Acting Secretary of the United States Army seeking to challenge the suspension of his

security clearance under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to

2000e-17 (2012); the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C.A. §§ 701 to

796l (West 2008 & Supp. 2016); the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§

12101 to 12213 (2012); the Back Pay Act, 5 U.S.C.A. § 5596 (West 2007 & Supp. 2017);

and the Due Process Clause. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See Kruise v. Speer, No. 1:16-cv-

00830-TSE-IDD (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 12, 2016 & entered Oct. 13, 2016); see also Dep’t

of Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 525-30 (1988) (precluding judicial review of security

clearance decisions); Hegab v. Long, 716 F.3d 790, 794 (4th Cir. 2013) (recognizing that

“courts are generally without subject-matter jurisdiction” to review security clearance

decisions because “a court should not be put in the position of second-guessing the

discretionary judgment of an executive agency assessing national security risks”);

Becerra v. Dalton, 94 F.3d 145, 149 (4th Cir. 1996) (“[I]f permitted to review the initial

stage of a security clearance determination to ascertain whether it was a retaliatory act,

the court would be required to review the very issues that the Supreme Court has held are

non-reviewable.”).   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
