PER CURIAM
Justin E. Fairfax appeals the district court's order granting New York Public Radio's motions to dismiss Fairfax's state law claims for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress and for attorneys' fees and costs under Virginia's anti-SLAPP statute, Va. Code Ann. § 8.01-223.2. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. Fairfax v. N.Y. Pub. Radio, No. 1:22-cv-00895-AJT-IDD (E.D. Va. Apr. 4, 2023). 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
