PER CURIAM:
William Edward Williamson appeals the district court’s order granting summary
judgment to Defendants in Williamson’s complaint alleging racial discrimination under 42
U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. Williamson v. Sch. Bd. Of the City of Chesapeake, No. 2:23-cv-00224-RAJ-
LRL (E.D. Va. Mar. 17, 2025). 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
