Before MOORE and KELLY, Circuit Judges, and BABCOCK,^**  District Judge.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT¹ 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Plaintiff Mike M. Ndefru filed this action under 42 U.S.C.1983 alleging deprivation of due process in connection with the decision of members of the Chemistry Department at Kansas State University to reject his propositional oral examination theme. Plaintiff further contended that this decision defamed him and ultimately resulted in his dismissal from the University, and that his belongings were unlawfully searched by defendant Sherwood. A grievance hearing held by the University had earlier found against plaintiff on all issues he raised.

The district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) (6). After careful review of the parties' arguments, the record on appeal, and the relevant law, we affirm the judgment of the district court for substantially the reasons stated by that court.

The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas is AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
