Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. *

Davis v. Simons, No. 2:14-cv-00069-RAJ-DEM (E.D. Va.

Oct. 1, 2014).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

AFFIRMED

*

Davis also claims the district court erred by not granting
a preliminary injunction against Defendant prison officials.
Because we affirm the district court’s decision on the merits in
this respect, we conclude that the appeal from the effective
denial of preliminary relief is moot.
