PER CURIAM:
John Charles Scotchel, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint, denying his motion to alter or amend the judgment,
and imposing sanctions pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Schotchel v. Rhodes, No. 2:17-cv-03353 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 26, 2018; Oct. 11,
2018). 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
