PER CURIAM:

       Brett C. Kimberlin appeals the district court’s order granting Appellee summary

judgment on Kimberlin’s First Amendment retaliation claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court. See Kimberlin v. Frey, No. 8:13-cv-03059-GJH

(D. Md. filed July 21, 2017; entered July 24, 2017). 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
