PER CURIAM: Andrew Chien appeals the district court’s November 18, 2025, order denying Chien’s postjudgment motion that related to (a) the court’s October 21, 2025, dismissal order, in which the court found that Defendants were entitled to absolute judicial immunity from suit; and (b) a 2013 order dismissing a different civil matter, Chien v. Grogan, No. 1:13-cv-00993-LMB-IDD. * We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Chien v. Giles, No. 1:25-cv- 01232-LMB-WBP (E.D. Va. Nov. 18, 2025). 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

* Chien moves for leave to file appendices and exhibits in this court. (See ECF No. 10). We deny this motion.
