Before FISHER and THOMPSON, Associate Judges, and SCHWELB, Senior Judge.

On December 10, 2009, Kerry Shea Price filed a pro se complaint against the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (“WMATA”) and its former General Manager John Catoe (together, “the WMATA 2 defendants”) and against Local 689, Amalgamated Transit Union (“the Union” or “Local 689″) and Union President Warren George (together, the “Union defendants”), alleging that WMATA wrongfully discharged him and that the Union arbitrarily refused to take his grievance against WMATA to arbitration.*fn1 Both sets of defendants filed dispositive motions.
