PER CURIAM:

Yolanda W. Stokes appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing her civil complaint. We have reviewed the record and 

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. Stokes v. Benham, No. 

3:14-cv-00536-JAG (E.D. Va. July 8, 2015). 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
