PER CURIAM:

Hiram Lopez 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).

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. Lopez v. Stewart, No. 1:15-cv-02747-RDB (D. Md. filed 

June 14, 2016; entered June 15, 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
