Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Andrew Chien appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of the
claims against LeClair Ryan and William K. Grogan & Associates
for the reasons stated by the district court. Chien v.
Chesterfield Cty., No. 1:13-cv-00993-LO-IDD (E.D. Va. filed Nov.
6, entered Nov. 7, 2013). We affirm the district court’s
dismissal of the claims against William Grogan in his capacity
as a Commissioner in Chancery on alternative grounds. See MM ex
rel. DM v. School Dist. of Greenville Cnty., 303 F.3d 523, 536
(4th Cir. 2002). While Grogan was a state actor, he is entitled
to judicial immunity for actions taken within the scope of his
official duties. See Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 362
(1978) (defining factors used to determine whether an action is
a judicial act). We deny Chien’s motion to expedite this
decision. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
