PER CURIAM:

               Eric Joseph DePaola appeals the district court’s order

granting the Defendants summary judgment on his First Amendment

claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) and the Religious Land Use

and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”), 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc

(2006), and dismissing his Fourteenth Amendment equal protection

claim.     We     have    reviewed      the       record   and    find   no   reversible

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

district       court.      DePaola      v.    Wade,    No.       7:11-cv-00198-SGW-RSB

(W.D.    Va.    Mar.     30,   2012).         We    dispense      with   oral   argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                                AFFIRMED
