PER CURIAM:

Sandra Harmon appeals the district court’s order granting

Defendants’ motion to dismiss her complaint brought pursuant to

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.

§§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2012), and also alleging equal protection

and due process violations. We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. Harmon v. Cumberland Cty. Bd. of Educ., No.

5:15-cv-00485-BR (E.D.N.C. May 5, 2016). We deny as moot

Harmon’s motion to expedite ruling. 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
