PER CURIAM:

      Joel   Vicars    appeals   the   district    court’s       order   granting

summary judgment to the Defendants on his complaint asserting

claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) and the Religious Land Use

and   Institutionalized      Persons       Act,   42    U.S.C.    §§ 2000cc     to

2000cc-5     (2012).    We   have   reviewed      the   record     and   find   no

reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.       Vicars v. Clarke, No. 7:14-cv-00620-NKM-

RSB (W.D. Va. Aug. 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
