PER CURIAM:

       Michael Dobson appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to

dismiss his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We

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

reasons stated by the district court. Dobson v. Stolle, No. 7:18-cv-00369-MFU-RSB (W.D.

Va. July 9, 2019). We deny Dobson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and for

appointment of counsel and 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
