        PER CURIAM:

               Josey Ray Edwards appeals the district court’s orders denying Edwards’ request to

        appoint counsel, granting in part Defendants’ motions to dismiss, and granting Defendants

        summary judgment in Edwards’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon review of the record, we

        discern no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s final order.

        Edwards v. Renalds, No. 7:19-cv-00765-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va. Mar. 23, 2022). We deny

        Edwards’ motion for appointment of counsel. 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

                                                    3
