Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., appeals the district court’s

orders dismissing his

(2006) complaint and

denying his motion to amend his complaint. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Rutledge v.

Roach, No. 4:10-cv-00035-JLK-MFU (W.D. Va. Sept. 30 & Nov. 18,

2010). 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
