Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Mark Ryland Dowdy appeals the district court’s order

dismissing     without     prejudice   his   42   U.S.C.   § 1983     (2006)

complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) (2006).                 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.      Dowdy v. Univ. of Va., No. 7:11-cv-00549-MFU-

RSB (W.D. Va. entered Dec. 6, 2011 & filed Dec. 7, 2011).                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
