PER CURIAM:

Joseph A. Brown appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing without prejudice his complaint filed pursuant to 

Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 

403 U.S. 388 (1971), for failure to comply with a court order. 

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Brown v. Ratledge, No. 7:15-cv-00640-EKD-RSD (W.D. Va. 

Dec. 18, 2015). We deny as moot Brown’s motion to expedite his 

appeal. 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
