UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-7653 MICHAEL MOORE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. GERALDINE BAKER, IPM; EARL BARKSDALE, Warden; ARTRIP, A.W.; MARCUS ELAM, Regional Admin., Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Michael F. Urbanski, Chief District Judge. (7:16-cv-00533-MFU-RSB) Submitted: May 15, 2018 Before TRAXLER, FLOYD, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Moore, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Decided: May 30, 2018 PER CURIAM: Michael Moore filed the instant action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012). Moore appeals the district court’s order dismissing as moot his claims under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000cc to 2000cc-5 (2012), and granting summary judgment to defendants as to the remaining claims. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Moore v. Baker, No. 7:16-cv-00533-MFU-RSB (W.D. Va. Dec. 15, 2017). We deny Moore’s 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.
