PER CURIAM:
Charles O. Shephard appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Shephard v. Diamond, No. 7:24-cv-
00244-RSB-CKM (W.D. Va. Mar. 25, 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
