PER CURIAM: 

James Franklin Pipes, a West Virginia prisoner,

appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation 

of the magistrate judge and dismissing Pipes’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 

(2006) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2006) for 

failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Pipes v. Corr. Med. Servs., No. 

2:09-cv-00921 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 10, 2009). We deny Pipes’ motion 

seeking leave to proceed as a veteran and dispense with oral 

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately 

presented in the materials before the court and argument would 

not aid the decisional process. 

AFFIRMED
