PER CURIAM:

Thomas J. E. Soul appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment on Soul’s employment discrimination action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Soul v. MovadoRetail Group, Inc., No. 1:07-cv-00365-GBL-BRP (Nov. 8, 2007). Moreover, we find the district court neither abused its discretion in ordering Soul to pay Movado’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Soul’s failure to comply with discovery orders nor erred in declining to provide Soul with court-appointed counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
