    Uploaded by

    Scribd Government Docs
    Barry Adams appealed a district court's decision granting a motion to dismiss his federal employment discrimination and state tort claims. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's ruling, substantially agreeing with its reasoning. Specifically, the Fourth Circuit found that Adams failed to sufficiently allege that he was treated less favorably than others outside his protected class for his reverse race discrimination claim. The Fourth Circuit also determined that oral arguments were not necessary because the relevant facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case materials.
