Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

          James      Franklin    Pipes,   a   West    Virginia     prisoner,

appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation

of the magistrate judge and dismissing Pipes’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2006)   complaint    under     28   U.S.C.   § 1915A(b)(1)      (2006)   for

failure to state a claim.        We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.          Pipes v. Corr. Med. Servs., No.

2:09-cv-00921 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 10, 2009).            We deny Pipes’ motion

seeking leave to proceed as a veteran and 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.

                                                                    AFFIRMED
