Shaka Zulu Acoolla, Appellant Pro Se. Pamela Anne Sargent, Assistant Attorney General, Mark Ralph Davis, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

- 3 - PER CURIAM:

Shaka Zulu Acoolla appeals the district court’s order

granting relief to the defendants and dismissing his claims under

the First Amendment and the Religious Land Use and

Institutionalized Persons Act. We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. See Acoolla v. Angelone, No. 7:01-

cv-01008-jct (W.D. Va. Sept. 1, 2006). 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
