Malcolm Muhammad, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Malcolm Muhammad appeals the district court’s orders
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2) (2012) and denying his motion for reconsideration.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Muhammad v. Corrections Officer Smith, No. 7:13-cv-
00578-JLK-RSB (W.D. Va. Mar. 14 & June 3, 2014). * We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
*
Muhammad’s First Amendment claim that his cell was
searched in retaliation for his outspoken and litigious nature
is also subject to dismissal because this allegation is
unsupported and speculative. See Adams v. Rice, 40 F.3d 72, 74-
75 (4th Cir. 1994).
