Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 24-1909 Doc: 16 Filed: 10/21/2025 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Timothy Dexter Walton appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. The district court did not err in concluding that Walton failed to put forth facts plausibly stating cognizable claims as to supervisory liability, conspiracy, or retaliation. Further, to the extent that Walton made claims regarding the inmate grievance procedures and deprivation of his personal property, the district court did not err in concluding that those claims were not cognizable in the instant § 1983 action. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Walton v. WVRJ Managerial Admin. & Staff, No. 7:23-cv-00436-TTC-JCH (W.D. Va. Aug. 29, 2024). 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 2
