PER CURIAM: 

Raphael Mendez seeks to appeal 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, we deny leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal as frivolous. We also 

deny the motion to “notice of error”. We dispense with oral 

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately 

presented in the materials before the court and argument would 

not aid the decisional process. 

DISMISSED
