Ford appeals the district court’s orders granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss Ford’s multiple employment-related claims, including claims brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, the American with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 to 12213, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 to 634, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601 to 2654, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 701 to 796l.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See, e.g., Shipton v. Baltimore Gas & Elec. Co., 109 F.4th 701, 709 (4th Cir. 2024) (observing that a plaintiff seeking redress under the FMLA must bring suit, at the latest, within three years of the challenged action); Walton v. Marker, 33 F.4th 165, 172 (4th Cir. 2022) (“[A] plaintiff must exhaust [his Title VII and ADEA] administrative remedies by bringing a charge with the EEOC.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Ford v. Driscoll, No. 3:24-cv- 00362-JAG (E.D. Va. Dec. 16, 2024; Feb. 5, 2025). 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 * Ford has filed a motion for the appointment of counsel, and we deny that motion. 2
