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
