PER CURIAM:
B.G., by her next friend, B.G., appeals the district
court’s order denying relief on her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)
complaint challenging a state court child custody proceeding.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. B.G. v. Malhotra, No. 1:15-cv-02663-RDB (D. Md. June 20,
2016). 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
