PER CURIAM:

John Joseph McPartlin appeals the district court’s order 

denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six 

Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 

(1971), and the court’s subsequent order denying McPartlin’s 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend that judgment. 

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. See McPartlin v. Roache-McDonald, No. 2:11-cv-00620-MSDTEM (E.D. Va. Mar. 31, 2015 & Apr. 22, 2015). 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
