Submitted: August 31, 2015 Decided: September 11, 2015

Before WILKINSON and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Harald Schmidt, Appellant Pro Se. Jeffrey Notz, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Prince William, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Harald Schmidt appeals the district court’s orders

consolidating his cases against Officers Steven Hunsberger and

John Burk and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaints

against the officers. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

orders. See A/S J. Ludwig Mowinckles Rederi v. Tidewater

Constr. Corp., 559 F.2d 928, 933 (4th Cir. 1977) (identifying

district court’s broad discretion in consolidation issues);

United States v. Buckner, 473 F.3d 551, 554-55 (4th Cir. 2007)

(discussing apparent authority to consent to search). 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
