Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 5 PER CURIAM: Donald Wayne Peery appeals from the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants in his civil action challenging Division Operating Procedure 864, a prison grooming policy requiring that male inmates’ hair not be more than one inch in thickness/depth and prohibiting beards. We have re- viewed the record and the district court’s opinion, along with Peery’s allegations of error, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Peery’s motion to be excused from paying the filing fee and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Peery v. Johnson, No. CA-99-1818-AM & No. CA-00-18-AM; Peery v. Angelone, No. CA-99-1859-AM & No. CA-00-211; Peery v. Dep’t of Corr., No. CA-00-170-AM (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 25, 2000, entered Oct. 30, 2000). 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 6
