                                2
PER CURIAM:

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

orders   dismissing      his   42    U.S.C.   § 1983     (2006)       complaint       and

denying his motion to amend his complaint.                  We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.             Accordingly, we affirm for

the   reasons   stated    by   the    district       court.         See    Rutledge   v.

Roach, No. 4:10-cv-00035-JLK-MFU (W.D. Va. Sept. 30 & Nov. 18,

2010).     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

                                         3
