PER CURIAM:

       John Joseph McPartlin appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six

Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388

(1971),     and    the   court’s      subsequent       order       denying     McPartlin’s

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend that judgment.

We   have    reviewed     the       record    and    find     no     reversible       error.

Accordingly,        although    we        grant     leave    to      proceed     in   forma

pauperis,     we    affirm     for    the    reasons        stated    by   the    district

court.      See McPartlin v. Roache-McDonald, No. 2:11-cv-00620-MSD-

TEM (E.D. Va. Mar. 31, 2015 & Apr. 22, 2015).                         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

                                              3
