PER CURIAM:

            Brian L. Trudell appeals the district court’s order

granting    summary    judgment    to       the   defendants     on   Trudell’s

wrongful discharge claims.        We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated     by   the   district    court.          Trudell   v.    Allen,    No.

3:11-cv-00542-RJC-DSC (W.D.N.C. Nov. 28, 2012).                We grant leave

to proceed in forma pauperis.               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
