PER CURIAM:

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

dismissing his civil complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (2012). We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. Dickson v. Sugg, No. 

4:15-cv-00050-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va. July 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.

AFFIRMED
