PER CURIAM:

Marvin Jerome Damon appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown 

Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), 

and the magistrate judge’s order denying discovery. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Damon 

v. Masters, No. 1:14-cv-26833 (S.D. W. Va. Aug. 25, 2015; Sept.

18, 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
