- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Emmett Johnson Jafari appeals the district court’s orders

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss his complaint under Section

5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 42 U.S.C. § 1973c (2000), and

(2000), denying Jafari’s motion to set aside

judgment, and granting Defendants’ petition for attorney’s fees.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Jafari v. City of Richmond, No. 3:05-cv-00823-HEH (E.D. Va.

May 12, 2006; May 30, 2006; June 8, 2006). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
