PER CURIAM:
Barry Carter appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We
affirm the decision of the district court for the reasons stated with respect to the existence
of probable cause to arrest Carter for the equipment violation and with respect to its
holding that the defendant was entitled to qualified immunity on Carter’s use of force
claim due to the absence of clearly established law. Carter v. Kahn, No. 1:15-cv-00572-
JCC-JFA (E.D. Va. Nov. 4, 2015). We express no opinion on the district court’s finding
with respect to the existence of probable cause to arrest Carter for obstruction of justice
or with respect to the conclusion that the use of force was objectively reasonable. 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
