                               OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   Ronald E. Rice1 filed this action in the district court asserting gov-
ernment officials and agencies conspired to import and distribute
cocaine in urban, African-American neighborhoods and subvert the
profits to the Nicaraguan Contra movement. The district court, on the
recommendation of the magistrate judge, dismissed the action under
28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2000), and revoked Rice’s unvested good time
credits under 28 U.S.C. § 1932 (2000).2 Rice does not challenge the
district court’s conclusion that his claims were frivolous, so that por-
tion of the district court’s order is not properly before us. See 4th Cir.
R. 34(b). Moreover, because the district court properly concluded that
this action was malicious or was intended to harass the Defendants,
notwithstanding Rice’s self-serving statements to the contrary, we
will not disturb the revocation of good time credits. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Rice v. National
Security Council, No. CA-00-3937-9-17AJ (D.S.C. June 8, 2001). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
    1
     We previously dismissed the appeal of Rice’s co-Plaintiff for failure
to prosecute.
   2
     There are two statutes designated as 28 U.S.C. § 1932; the district
court’s order involved the second § 1932.
                           RICE v. MILLS                          3
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argu-
ment would not aid the decisional process.
