PER CURIAM:
Joseph Richard Perry, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint and his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. Perry v. Virginia, No. 1:17-cv-00546-AJT-JFA (E.D. Va. Nov. 9, 2017
& filed Nov. 21, 2017; entered Nov. 22, 2017). We deny as unnecessary Perry’s motion
for a certificate of appealability and 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
