PER CURIAM: 

 Jerry L. Oliver, a Virginia state prisoner, appeals 

the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) 

action for failure to state a claim, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915A(b)(1) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the 

reasoning of the district court. Oliver v. Gray, No. 7:09-cv00004-jct-mfu (W.D. Va. Feb. 12, 2009). With regard to Oliver’s 

claim of denial of access to the courts, we find that Oliver has 

failed to demonstrate that he suffered an actual injury because 

of the Defendants’ actions; thus, his claim is not actionable. 

See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 351-52 (1996). We dispense 

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before the court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process. 

AFFIRMED
