Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 09-2116

DARRIN L. KING,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

SMITHFIELD FOOD,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Jerome B. Friedman, District Judge. (2:08-cv-00487-JBF-FBS)

Submitted: November 17, 2009 Decided: November 20, 2009

Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Darrin L. King, Appellant Pro Se. Matthew Westcott Smith, KAUFMAN & CANOLES, PC, Williamsburg, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Darrin King appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment for the Appellee on King’s claim of

disability discrimination. On appeal, we confine our review to

the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. Rule

34(b). King’s brief fails to challenge the district court’s

dispositive conclusions that he failed to demonstrate a prima

facie case of discrimination and that the Appellee had

legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for not hiring King.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order and deny

King’s motions to appoint counsel. 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 in the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
