PER CURIAM:
Timothy Dexter Walton appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error.
The district court did not err in concluding that Walton failed to put forth facts plausibly
stating cognizable claims as to supervisory liability, conspiracy, or retaliation. Further, to
the extent that Walton made claims regarding the inmate grievance procedures and
deprivation of his personal property, the district court did not err in concluding that those
claims were not cognizable in the instant § 1983 action. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. Walton v. WVRJ Managerial Admin. & Staff, No. 7:23-cv-00436-TTC-JCH
(W.D. Va. Aug. 29, 2024). 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
