PER CURIAM:
Norman Gladden appeals the district court’s memorandum
opinion and order granting summary judgment to Gary Bangs and
dismissing

his

petition

for

review

from

an

order

of

the

Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives, finding that he willfully violated the requirements
of the Federal firearms laws and denying his license under 18
U.S.C. § 923 (2006).

We affirm.

This court reviews a district court’s grant of summary
judgment

de

novo,

“viewing

the

facts

and

the

reasonable

inferences drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to the
nonmoving party.”

Emmett v. Johnson, 532 F.3d 291, 297 (4th

Cir. 2008); see also Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S.
242, 255 (1986).

Summary judgment is proper “if the movant

shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact
and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
Fed.

R.

Civ.

P.

56(a).

If

the

moving

party

sufficiently

supports its motion for summary judgment, the nonmoving party
must

demonstrate

fact.”

“that

there

are

genuine

issues

of

material

Emmett, 532 F.3d at 297.
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

memorandum opinion and find no error.

Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.

See Gladden v. Bangs, __

F. Supp. 2d __, 2012 WL 604027 (E.D. Va. Feb. 23, 2012).

because

the

facts

and

legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
