PER CURIAM:
Brian L. Davis appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to
dismiss and for summary judgment on his claims brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Davis v. York Cty. Bd. of
Supervisors, No. 4:17-cv-00039-AWA-LRL (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 7, 2017 & entered
Sept. 8, 2017). 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
