Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Sherry A. Bullock appeals the district court’s order
granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment in her suit
alleging violations of the Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district
court. * Bullock v. Kraft Foods, Inc., No. 3:11-cv-00036-HEH-MHL
(E.D. Va. Nov. 22, 2011). 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
*
In addition, we note that Bullock’s claim that she was not
sufficiently paid for dates incorrectly scheduled outside of her
medical restrictions in September 2007 was waived by failure to
argue it to the district court. See Aziz v. Alcolac, Inc., 658
F.3d 388, 394 n.6 (4th Cir. 2011) (“In the normal course, we do
not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal
. . . .”). Further, Bullock’s claim of improper retroactive
designation of FMLA leave fails for lack of prejudice. See
Ragsdale v. Wolverine World Wide, Inc., 535 U.S. 81, 89 (2002).
