PER CURIAM:
Richard Phillip of the Family Valdez appeals the district court’s order dismissing,
on 28 U.S.C. § 1915 review, Phillip’s federal and state law claims. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
Richard Phillip of the Family Valdez v. Chesapeake Juv. & Dom. Rel. Dist. Ct., No. 2:25-
cv-00103-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va. Oct. 6, 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
