KENNETH MEREDITH,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

RUSSELL COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, d/b/a Russell County Public

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of Virginia, at Abingdon. James P. Jones, District

Submitted: September 12, 2016 Decided: October 4, 2016

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and TRAXLER and KING, Circuit
Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Richard F. Hawkins, III, HAWKINS LAW FIRM, PC, Richmond,
Virginia, for Appellant. M. Katherine Patton, CHAFIN LAW FIRM
PC, Lebanon, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

Kenneth Meredith appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to Defendant in Meredith’s 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) civil rights action in which Meredith asserted a

First Amendment retaliation claim. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. See Meredith v. Russell

Cty. Sch. Bd., No. 1:13-cv-00084-JPJ-PMS (W.D. Va. Sept. 21,

2015). 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
