PER CURIAM:

Timothy Dexter Walton appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his

complaint. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error.

The district court did not err in concluding that Walton failed to put forth facts plausibly

stating cognizable claims as to supervisory liability, conspiracy, or retaliation. Further, to

the extent that Walton made claims regarding the inmate grievance procedures and

deprivation of his personal property, the district court did not err in concluding that those

claims were not cognizable in the instant § 1983 action. Accordingly, we affirm the district

court’s order. Walton v. WVRJ Managerial Admin. & Staff, No. 7:23-cv-00436-TTC-JCH

(W.D. Va. Aug. 29, 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
