PER CURIAM:
Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint 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. See Rutledge v. City of Norfolk,
No. 2:09-cv-00129-MSD-JEB (E.D. Va. filed July 30; entered
July 31, 2009). 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
