3 PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, * Plaintiffs appeal the

district court’s order granting Defendants’ Fed. R. Civ. P.

41(b) motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute and dismissing

their race, color, and national origin discrimination claims

under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended,

42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2000) and 42 U.S.C. § 1981

(2000), as well as several state law contract and tort causes of

action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See

Baziruwiha v. Supershuttle Int’l Corp., No. 1:05-cv-01146-JCC-

BRP (E.D. Va. Feb. 26, 2008). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED

* Although the appeals have been separately briefed and considered, the court consolidates them for purpose of issuing a consolidated opinion.
