Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Melvin Wayne Ringer, CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

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

order denying relief in his

(2012) civil rights

action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. See Rutledge v. Tessier, No. 2:13-cv-00470-DEM

(E.D. Va. Oct. 22, 2014). 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
