Marquise Leon Nelson, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Marquise   Leon   Nelson    appeals   the    district   court’s   order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b) (2012).        We have reviewed the record and find that

this appeal is frivolous, and we dismiss the appeal for the

reasons stated by the district court.             Nelson v. Virginia, No.

7:16-cv-00055-JPJ-RSB (W.D. Va. July 21, 2016).                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
