PER CURIAM:

James Lawrence Smith appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint under 28 U.S.C. 

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

that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the 

appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Smith v. 

City of Asheville, No. 1:14-cv-00295-MR-DLH (W.D.N.C. Nov. 14, 

2014). 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.

DISMISSED
