PER CURIAM:
Raymond Alexander Ford, Jr., appeals from the magistrate judge’s order denying
his motion to appoint counsel and the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
civil action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm the orders. Ford v. Northam, No. 7:22-cv-00122-EKD-JCH (W.D. Va. Nov. 15,
2022; Mar. 31, 2023; Apr. 26, 2023). We grant Ford’s motion to exceed length limitations
for his informal brief, deny his motions to compel and to extend the filing time for an
informal reply brief, and 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
