PER CURIAM:

Eric S. Clark appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Defendants Nagel and Davis are entitled to judicial immunity. See King v. Myers, 973 F.2d 354, 356 (4th Cir.1992). The County is entitled to sovereign immunity in federal court, just as it is in state court. See Sossamon v. Texas, - U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 1651, 1657-58, 179 L.Ed.2d 700 (2011); Seabolt v. County of Albemarle, 283 Va. 717, 719, 724 S.E.2d 715 (2012). Clark’s First and Fourth Amendment claims are belied by the record. See, e.g., United States v. Branch, 537 F.3d 328, 335 (4th Cir.2008); Blankenship v. Manchin, 471 F.3d 523, 528 (4th Cir.2006); Brown v. Gilmore, 278 F.3d 362, 367 (4th Cir.2002). Clark’s remaining claims are likewise mer-itless. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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.
