PER CURIAM:
DeWayne Baker appeals the district court’s order dismissing his claims against
Defendants Harvey, Hodges, Stapleton, Locust, Jones, and Clarke, severing the
remaining claims and defendants, and transferring the case to the Western District of
Virginia. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Baker v. Coffeewood Corr. Ctr., No.
1:17-cv-00653-AJT-TCB (E.D. Va. Aug. 2, 2018). 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
