Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. John Ruffin Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. - 2 - PER CURIAM: John Ruffin Williams appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2000) for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, Williams v. Mackling, No. 2:07-cv-147 (E.D. Va. Jul 2, 2007), and deny Williams’ motion for judgment, in which he reargues the merits of his claims. 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 -
