PER CURIAM:

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

dismissing his civil complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012) for failure to state a claim upon which 

relief may be granted. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Dickson v. Fed. Bureau of Investigation,

No. 4:15-cv-00092-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 10, 2015; 

entered Sept. 11, 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
