PER CURIAM

Ricardo Chinchilla appeals from the district court's order dismissing his petition for a declaratory judgment and for a writ of mandamus, in which Chinchilla challenged his conviction after trial by a general court-martial. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. Chinchilla v. Whitley, No. 3:20-cv-00871-HEH (E.D. Va. May 5, 2021). 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
