    This document is an unpublished appellate court decision from 1988 regarding Curtis Wrenn's appeal of a district court's granting of summary judgment to defendants in Wrenn's civil rights lawsuit. The appellate court affirmed the district court's decision, finding Wrenn's appeal was without merit. Although the district court incorrectly held one of Wrenn's claims was barred, the appellate court noted that summary judgment was still properly granted because Wrenn failed to make out a prima facie case of discrimination. The appellate court dispensed with oral argument, as the dispositive issues had been decided authoritatively.

    Curtis L. WRENN, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    STATE OF MARYLAND, State Executive Department,

    at Baltimore, Richard G. Vicens, Director, Office of

    No. 87-3897.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted July 28, 1988.
    Decided Sept. 22, 1988.

    Curtis L. Wrenn, appellant pro se.


    Lawrence White, Office of the Attorney General of Maryland, for
    appellees.
    Before DONALD RUSSELL, K.K. HALL, and ERVIN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Curtis L. Wrenn appeals from the district court's order granting the defendants'
    motion for summary judgment. Our review of the record and the district court's
    opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this
    appeal is without merit.* Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
    court. Wrenn v. State of MD, et al, CA-83-1292 (D.Md., Oct. 30, 1987). We

    dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been
    decided authoritatively.
    2

    AFFIRMED.

    We note that the district court incorrectly held that Wrenn's Sec. 1983 action,
    which was based on the fourteenth amendment and Title VII, was barred
    because Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act provide the
    exclusive remedy in this case. See Keller v. Prince George's County, 827 F.2d
    952 (4th Cir.1987). Nevertheless, because Wrenn failed to make out a prima
    facie case of discrimination, summary judgment was properly granted in favor
    of the defendants. See Guillory v. St. Landry Parish Police Jury, 802 F.2d 822
    (5th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 55 U.S.L.W. 3820 (U.S. June 8, 1987) (No. 866392). (Title VII and Sec. 1983 require the same prima facie case)
