Patrick O. Christian, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Patrick O. Christian appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil rights

complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012). We have reviewed the record and

find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Christian v.

United States, No. 3:17-cv-00535-HEH (E.D. Va. Aug. 15, 2017). 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.

                                                                             DISMISSED
