Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM

Relator Patrick Donohue appeals the district court's order granting the motion to dismiss of Appellees Loudoun County Public School District and Scott A. Ziegler pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). The district court determined that Appellant failed to state a claim under the False Claims Act and Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court for the reasons stated in its thorough and well reasoned order.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court, and oral argument would not aid our decision.

AFFIRMED.
