Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Clayton Vines appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s motion for

summary judgment in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. * Vines v. Gujral, No. 2:15-cv-00516-AWA-RJK (E.D. Va. Mar. 2, 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

       *
         To the extent that Vines seeks to raise new claims on appeal, he fails to
demonstrate that exceptional circumstances warrant consideration of those claims. See
Pornomo v. United States, 814 F.3d 681, 686 (4th Cir. 2016) (“Absent exceptional
circumstances we do not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal.” (ellipsis
omitted)).
