PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Dr. Simon Banks appeals the 

district court’s orders denying his emergency motion for a writ 

of mandamus, his motion for reconsideration, and his motions for 

injunctive and declaratory relief. We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. Banks v. Circuit Court of 

Alexandria, No. 1:16-cv-01309-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. Oct. 17, 2016; 

Oct. 24, 2016; filed Dec. 20, 2016, entered December 21, 2016). 

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
