Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:11-cv-01207-LMB-IDD)

Submitted: January 22, 2013 Decided: January 24, 2013

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Christopher D. Alex, Appellant Pro Se. Kevin J. Mikolashek, Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Christopher D. Alex appeals from the district court’s

order dismissing his civil action in which he asserted a

violation of his First Amendment rights. We have reviewed the

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

the reasons stated by the district court. Alex v. Mabus, No.

1:11–cv–01207–LMB-IDD (E.D. Va. June 20, 2012). We deny Alex’s

motion for appointment of counsel and for 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
