UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 98-2615 JERRY L. GENT, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA; VIRGINIA INTERMONT COLLEGE, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis- trict of Virginia, at Lynchburg. Norman K. Moon, District Judge. (CA-98-76-L) Submitted: December 17, 1998 Decided: December 30, 1998 Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jerry L. Gent, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Jerry L. Gent appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e) (West Supp. 1998).* We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no reversible error. Because the appeal is frivolous, we dismiss on the reasoning of the district court. See Gent v. Clinch Valley College, No. CA-98-76-L (W.D. Va. Oct. 20, 1998). We dis- pense 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 * The court cited to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) as the basis for dismissal. Section 1915 was amended in 1996 and the authority for courts to dismiss an action as frivolous is now stated in § 1915(e). 2
