DeWayne Baker appeals the district court's order dismissing his claims against Defendants Harvey, Hodges, Stapleton, Locust, Jones, and Clarke, severing the remaining claims and defendants, and transferring the case to the Western District of Virginia. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Baker v. Coffeewood Corr. Ctr., No. 1:17-cv-00653-AJT-TCB (E.D. Va. Aug. 2, 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.
