ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before MURPHY, BALDOCK, and O'BRIEN, Circuit Judges.

Plaintiff Maximo Hernandez, Jr. appeals the district court's grant of Defendants' motion to dismiss. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The parties to this case are familiar with its facts and procedural history, and we will not repeat them here. This court reviews de novo a district court's dismissal of a complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). See McDonald v. Kinder-Morgan, Inc., 287 F.3d 992, 997 (10th Cir. 2002). We will affirm a dismissal "only when it appears that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of the claims that would entitle the plaintiff to relief." Id. We accept all well-pleaded allegations of the complaint as true and construe them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Id. On appeal, Hernandez asserts the trial court erred in dismissing his Title VII claims for lack of jurisdiction and his remaining claims for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted.1 The district court memorandum and order set forth a detailed explanation of the

grounds for dismissal. We affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court.

AFFIRMED.
