PER CURIAM:
Devon Sutherland, Demetrice Murray, and Ira Wayne Madison
appeal from the district court’s order granting summary judgment to
the defendant prison officials in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000)
action challenging the validity and enforcement of the prison’s
grooming policy. We deny Sutherland’s motion to place this case in
abeyance pending a decision by this court in an appeal raising
similar claims and deny his motion for default. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. Sutherland v.
Angelone, No. 7:02-cv-00477-JCT (W.D. Va. Mar. 21, 2006). 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
