PER CURIAM:

Christopher Richards appeals the district court’s order 

granting Defendants summary judgment in Richards’ 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 (2012) action. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Specifically, we observe that Richards’ 

claims with respect to the application of Virginia’s threestrikes provision are time-barred, and that he has failed to 

sufficiently allege any related equal protection claims in his 

complaint. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. See Richards v. Muse, No. 1:13-cv-01472-CMH-JFA (E.D. 

Va. Feb. 26, 2015). 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
