USCA4 Appeal: 26-6538 Doc: 8 Filed: 07/21/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Antwon Whitten appeals the district court’s orders granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss Whitten’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint and denying Whitten’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Whitten v. Franks, No. 7:25-cv-00756- JHY-JCH (W.D. Va. Mar. 16, 2026; Apr. 2, 2026). 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
