Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Josey Ray Edwards appeals the district court’s orders denying Edwards’ request to appoint counsel, granting in part Defendants’ motions to dismiss, and granting Defendants summary judgment in Edwards’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon review of the record, we discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s final order. Edwards v. Renalds, No. 7:19-cv-00765-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va. Mar. 23, 2022). We deny Edwards’ motion for appointment of counsel. 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 3
