PER CURIAM:

Michael Eugene Owens appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his copyright infringement 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. See Owens v. Major League Baseball, No. 3:15-cv-00102-

GCM (W.D.N.C. Apr. 2, 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.

DISMISSED
