                                2
PER CURIAM:

       Joseph      L.     Boykin    appeals      the   district    court’s        orders

substituting        proper         party-defendants,      granting      Defendants’

motion      to    dismiss    Boykin’s      complaint,     and     denying    as    moot

Boykin’s miscellaneous motions.                 We have reviewed the record and

find   no    reversible       error.       Accordingly,      we    affirm    for    the

reasons stated by the district court.                  Boykin v. Commonwealth of

Va. Dep’t of Juvenile Justice, No. 3:14-cv-00811-HEH (E.D. Va.

Aug. 20, 2015).             We deny Boykin’s motion for appointment of

counsel.         We deny his motion to schedule 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

                                            3
