PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Meredith appeals the district court’s order
granting summary judgment to Defendant in Meredith’s 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012) civil rights action in which Meredith asserted a
First Amendment retaliation claim. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. See Meredith v. Russell
Cty. Sch. Bd., No. 1:13-cv-00084-JPJ-PMS (W.D. Va. Sept. 21,
2015). 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
