PER CURIAM: Paul Anthony Chenevert appeals the district court’s order granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss his third amended civil rights complaint. The court concluded that Chenevert’s third amended complaint did not comply with the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a) and, regardless, failed to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Chenevert v. Kanode, No. 7:21-cv-00562-EKD-JCH (W.D. Va., Sept. 26, 2023). We deny Chenevert’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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
