PER CURIAM:

Rhonda Kirschmann appeals the district court’s order denying relief on her civil 

complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we 

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Kirschmann v. Virginia, No. 2:18-cv00600-MSD-DEM (E.D. Va. Oct. 25, 2019). 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
