Karen HAMILTON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Albert AZZARONE, Henrico Recreation & Parks Dept.; Tommy Branin, Henrico Board of Supervisors; Humberto Cardounel, Chief of Henrico Police; Andrew Ramsey Newby, Henrico Attorney for defendant; John Vitoulkas, Manager of Henrico; Steven Yob, Director, Henrico Public Works, Defendants - Appellees, County of Henrico, Defendant.
Karen Hamilton appeals the district court's order dismissing her civil action for failure to state a claim pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.* Hamilton v. Newby, No. 3:19-cv-00372-JAG, 2020 WL 972752 (E.D. Va. Feb. 28, 2020). 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
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE. Hamilton raised an Equal Protection claim relating to her hitchhiking activities for the first time on appeal. We do not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal absent exceptional circumstances not found here. See In re Under Seal, 749 F.3d 276, 285 (4th Cir. 2014).
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
