PER CURIAM:

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. Speller v. Dotson, No. 3:24-cv-00624-RCY-MRC (E.D. Va.,
Oct. 31, 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.
