PER CURIAM:
Carl A. Gray appeals from the district court’s order granting
Defendants’ motion to dismiss Gray’s civil complaint originally
filed in state court and removed by Defendants to the district
court and denying Gray’s motions for remand, for sanctions, and to
amend the complaint. We have reviewed the record, the district
court’s order, the transcripts of the hearings held on December 13,
2000, and January 4, 2001, at which the district court stated from
the bench its reasons for denying relief, and Gray’s informal brief
filed in this court. We find no reversible error in the court’s
denial of Gray’s motions to remand, to amend, and to impose sanc-
tions. With regard to the motion to dismiss, Gray has not pre-
served any issue for our review because he failed to challenge the
bases for the district court’s ruling on that motion. Accordingly,
we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gray v. Board of
Supervisors, No. CA-00-825-2 (E.D. Va. Dec. 13, 2000 & Jan. 4,
2001). 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
