Joseph Gilreath, Appellant Pro Se. Daniel William Clark, Adam

S. Mitchell, THARRINGTON SMITH LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina, for

Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Joseph Gilreath filed a disability discrimination action

against his employer, Cumberland County Board of Education

(“CCBE”), pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act,

raising a failure to accommodate claim and a retaliation claim.

He appeals the district court’s order granting CCBE’s motion for

a directed verdict on his failure to accommodate claim, the jury

verdict in favor of CCBE on his retaliation claim, and the

district court’s order denying his various posttrial motions.

We have reviewed the proceedings below, including the

transcripts of the trial and the district court’s orders, and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. Gilreath v. Cumberland

Cty. Bd. of Educ., No. 5:11-cv-00627-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 5, 2014;

Nov. 7, 2014; Jan. 27, 2015). We further deny Gilreath’s motion

for the appointment of counsel. 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
