PER CURIAM:

Steven Cupp appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 

dismissing his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown 

Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). 

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Cupp v. Brown, No. 2:08-cv-00060-REM-JSK (N.D.W. Va. 

Nov. 3, 2009). We 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
