PER CURIAM:
Anthony Roberts appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to
Defendants on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. * Roberts v. Vann, No. 1:17-cv-00049-CMH-MSN (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 25, 2017 &
entered Oct. 27, 2017). We deny Roberts’ motion to appoint counsel 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

*

To the extent Roberts argues on appeal that Defendants violated his equal
protection rights by treating him differently than other inmates during the disciplinary
proceeding, we conclude that Roberts waived appellate review of this claim by failing to
allege it in his complaint. See Pornomo v. United States, 814 F.3d 681, 686 (4th Cir.
2016).
