Anthony John Trenga, District Judge; Claude M. Hilton, Senior District Judge. (1:20-cv-00123-CMH-IDD; 1:19-cv-01647-CMH-IDD) Submitted: August 20, 2020 Decided: August 24, 2020 Before WYNN and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges. ∗ Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Davetta Lynn Range, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. ∗ The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d). 3 PER CURIAM: In these consolidated cases, Davetta Lynn Range appeals the district court’s orders dismissing her civil actions as frivolous and for failure to state a claim, reassigning her original action to a different judge, and denying a variety of postjudgment motions. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)-(ii). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Range v. Van Metre, No. 1:20-cv-00123-CMH-IDD (E.D. Va. Feb. 20 & Mar. 2, 6 & 17, 2020); Range v. Bezos, No. 1:19-cv-01647-CMH-IDD (E.D. Va. Jan. 23 & Feb. 5, 2020). 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 4
