PER CURIAM:
Patrick Lockhart appeals the district court’s orders (a) remanding to state court
Lockhart’s criminal prosecution on two misdemeanor charges, which Lockhart attempted
to remove to federal court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1443(1); and (b) denying Lockhart’s
motion for reconsideration of the remand ruling. We have reviewed the record and discern
no error in the court’s rulings. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Virginia
v. Lockhart, No. 1:22-cv-00808-MSN-IDD (E.D. Va. Aug. 5, 2022 & Sept. 1, 2022). 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
