PER CURIAM:
Michael Dobson appeals the district court’s orders denying his motions for
discovery, granting summary judgment to Defendant, and dismissing Dobson’s action filed
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We have reviewed the record and Dobson’s claims and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Dobson’s motion objecting to the terms of the
Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, entitled “Motion for Relief from undue hardship,” and
affirm the district court’s orders. Dobson v. Thompson, No. 3:22-cv-00132-JAG-MRC
(E.D. Va. Nov. 28, 2023; Dec. 13, 2023; Apr. 4, 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
