PER CURIAM:
George Allen Ward, a Virginia prisoner, 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. Ward v. Edwards,
No. 2:19-cv-00526-RAJ-RJK (E.D. Va. Oct. 18, 2022). 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
* This case returns to us following a limited remand for the district court to conduct
the fact finding necessary to determine whether Ward’s notice of appeal was timely filed
under Fed. R. App. P. 4(c)(1).
