Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order denying relief in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights
action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. See Rutledge v. Tessier, No. 2:13-cv-00470-DEM
(E.D. Va. Oct. 22, 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
