PER CURIAM:
David Nighthorse Firewalker-Fields appeals the district court’s order denying relief
on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Firewalker-Fields v. Clarke,
No. 1:20-cv-00599-CMH-IDD (E.D. Va., Dec. 2, 2021). We also deny Curiae Disability
Party’s motion to file an amicus curiae brief. 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
