PER CURIAM:

Melvin L. Allen, Sr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s 

order. Allen v. Olsen, No. 1:23-cv-01010-PTG-IDD (E.D. Va. May 28, 2024). 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
