PER CURIAM:
Deonta Jerome Hicks, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s order granting
Defendants summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) civil rights action in which
Hicks alleged violations of his First Amendment right to free exercise of religion and of
the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000cc
to 2000cc-5 (2018). We have reviewed the record, in conjunction with the arguments
raised by Hicks on appeal, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. Hicks v. Pixley, No. 1:16-cv-00189-CMH-IDD (E.D. Va. Sept. 20, 2019).
We deny Hicks’ pending motions to amend his appeal, for the appointment of investigative
services, to compel Defendants to disclose financial information and related evidence, and
for injunctive relief. 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.
