Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order denying relief in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights

action.        We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.        See Rutledge v. Tessier, No. 2:13-cv-00470-DEM

(E.D.    Va.    Oct.   22,   2014).   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
