PER CURIAM:
Robert Paul Sharpe appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to amend
his complaint and dismissing his civil action in which he alleged that the Inspector General
for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs unlawfully withheld or unreasonably
delayed action in connection with his claims of whistleblower reprisal. In this court,
Sharpe has filed a motion for affirmative relief. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Sharpe’s motion for affirmative relief and affirm
the district court’s order. Sharpe v. United States, No. 7:23-cv-01673-BO-RN (E.D.N.C.
July 10, 2024). 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
