PER CURIAM:
Josey Ray Edwards appeals the district court’s orders denying Edwards’ request to
appoint counsel, granting in part Defendants’ motions to dismiss, and granting Defendants
summary judgment in Edwards’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon review of the record, we
discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s final order.
Edwards v. Renalds, No. 7:19-cv-00765-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va. Mar. 23, 2022). We deny
Edwards’ motion for appointment of counsel. 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
