PER CURIAM:
Jerry L. Oliver, a Virginia state prisoner, appeals
the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006)
action for failure to state a claim, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A(b)(1) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the
reasoning of the district court. Oliver v. Gray, No. 7:09-cv-
00004-jct-mfu (W.D. Va. Feb. 12, 2009). With regard to Oliver’s
claim of denial of access to the courts, we find that Oliver has
failed to demonstrate that he suffered an actual injury because
of the Defendants’ actions; thus, his claim is not actionable.
See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 351-52 (1996). We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
