                                 No. 15-10135
      James Doherty appeals the Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal of federal
and Texas state law claims stemming from his alleged wrongful dismissal from
the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (“TTUHSC”) School of
Medicine.
      Our thorough review of the briefs in this matter, the pertinent parts of
the record, and the applicable law reveals no error. The district court properly
held that Doherty failed to state any plausible claim of a substantive or
procedural due process violation under either the United States or Texas
constitutions. The district court similarly did not err in its determination that
Doherty’s remaining claims - including his unlawful taking claim, his
Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 claims, and
his conspiracy claim - warranted dismissal for their collective failure to allege
a plausible right to relief.
      We, therefore, affirm the district court’s dismissal of all claims asserted
by Doherty.
      AFFIRMED.
