PER CURIAM:

Michael Anthony Taylor appeals the district court’s orders 

denying his “motion for a more definite statement” regarding the 

court’s order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to 

reconsider the order dismissing under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) 

(2012) 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 that this appeal is 

frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Taylor v. Nat’l Sec. Agency, No. 

5:15-ct-03225-FL (E.D.N.C. Oct. 7, 2015; Dec. 23, 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
