PER CURIAM:

William Scott Davis, Jr., appeals the district court’s 

order dismissing his Freedom of Information Act complaint and 

imposing upon him a prefiling review system for future civil 

actions. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the 

district court. Davis v. Dep’t of State, No. 4:13-cv-00058-RBSDEM (E.D. Va. Aug. 19, 2016). We deny all of Davis’ pending 

motions, including his motions to remand, to vacate, to appoint 

counsel, and to appoint a guardian ad litem. 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
