PER CURIAM:

Thomas Delawrence Leath appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing for 

failure to state a claim, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), 

Leath’s Bivens* complaint. We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Leath v. United States, No. 1:16-cv-00248-

CCE-LPA (M.D.N.C. May 9, 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

 * Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of 

Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).
