PER CURIAM:

Marquise Leon Nelson appeals the district court’s order 

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

§ 1915A(b) (2012). We have reviewed the record and find that 

this appeal is frivolous, and we dismiss the appeal for the 

reasons stated by the district court. Nelson v. Virginia, No. 

7:16-cv-00055-JPJ-RSB (W.D. Va. July 21, 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.

DISMISSED
