PER CURIAM:

John M. Dickson, Jr., appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his civil complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (2012). We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Dickson v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 

No. 4:15-cv-00121-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va. Mar. 2, 2016). 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
