PER CURIAM:
Ziad Akl appeals from the district court’s order
granting the Defendants’ motion and dismissing his complaint in
which he alleged numerous claims arising from the revocation of
his medical privileges at the Virginia Hospital Center-Arlington
Health Systems. We have reviewed the parties’ briefs, the joint
appendix, and the district court’s opinion and order and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the
reasons stated by the district court. See Akl v. Virginia Hosp.
Ctr., No. 1:07-cv-00073-CMH (E.D. Va. July 18, 2007); see
Modaber v. Culpeper Mem. Hosp. Inc., 674 F.2d 1023, 1026 (4th
Cir. 1982). 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
