Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). - 2 - PER CURIAM: Steven Wayne Goodman appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to defendants and denying Goodman’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(f) motion for a discovery continuance. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Goodman v. Smith, No. CA-00-986-7 (W.D. Va. filed Mar. 26, 2004 & entered Mar. 29, 2004). We grant Goodman’s motion to exceed the page limitation and deny his motions to remand, for consolidation, and for an informal briefing schedule. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED - 3 -
