UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-7487 ANTHONY ROBERTS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. M.C. VANN, I.H.O. Hearings Manager/Institutional Reviewer, Officer; K.G. WALKER, Unit Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Senior District Judge. (1:17-cv-00049-CMH-MSN) Submitted: March 29, 2018 Decided: April 2, 2018 Before AGEE and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Anthony Roberts, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Haeberle Cahill, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Anthony Roberts appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Defendants on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. * Roberts v. Vann, No. 1:17-cv-00049-CMH-MSN (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 25, 2017 & entered Oct. 27, 2017). We deny Roberts’ motion to appoint counsel and 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 * To the extent Roberts argues on appeal that Defendants violated his equal protection rights by treating him differently than other inmates during the disciplinary proceeding, we conclude that Roberts waived appellate review of this claim by failing to allege it in his complaint. See Pornomo v. United States, 814 F.3d 681, 686 (4th Cir. 2016). 2
