PER CURIAM: Michael Dobson appeals the district court’s orders denying his motions for discovery, granting summary judgment to Defendant, and dismissing Dobson’s action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We have reviewed the record and Dobson’s claims and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Dobson’s motion objecting to the terms of the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, entitled “Motion for Relief from undue hardship,” and affirm the district court’s orders. Dobson v. Thompson, No. 3:22-cv-00132-JAG-MRC (E.D. Va. Nov. 28, 2023; Dec. 13, 2023; Apr. 4, 2024). 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
