With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". (footnotes omitted). Despite the strictness of this rule, our Court has recognized that the district court’s failure to provide notice may be harmless error. Nowlin v. Resolution Trust Corp., 33 F.3d 498, 504 (5th Cir.1994). Nowlin held that error arising from the district court’s sua sponte grant of summary judgment may be harmless when the “nonmovant has no additional evidence or if all of the nonmovant’s additional evidence is reviewed by the appellate court and none of the evidence presents a genuine issue of material fact.” Id. In this case, Ross’ allegation that Briner’s and Gaertner’s compensation practices deprived him of Due Process does not state a cognizable constitutional claim. Dorsett v. Board of Trustees for State Colleges & Universities, 940 F.2d 121, 123 (5th Cir.1991) (<HOLDING>).. Similarly, and by analogy to our Title VII
