PER CURIAM:

            Christopher        C.    Bailey,        IV,    appeals       the    district

court’s    order     denying       his    motion     for    default      judgment      and

granting    defendants’       motion       to    dismiss    his    42    U.S.C.     § 1983

(2006) complaint.        See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(2), (5), (6).                        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.     Bailey v. Smokowicz, No. 4:12-cv-00042-RBS-DEM (E.D. Va.

filed Sept. 13, 2012; entered Sept. 14, 2012).                       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
