PER CURIAM:
Monta Brown appeals the district court’s order granting Appellees’ motion for
summary judgment on Brown’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Brown’s motion for appointment of
counsel and affirm the district court’s judgment. Brown v. Ponce, No. 3:23-cv-00194-
MHL-MRC (E.D. Va. May 13, 2025). 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
