Kevin M. Ballance, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Kevin M. Ballance appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint for failure to

state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2000).                  We have

reviewed   the   record   and   find   that   this   appeal   is   frivolous.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Ballance v. True, No. CA-03-1263-AM (E.D. Va. Oct. 17.

2003).   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

                                   - 2 -
