UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 04-6924

MARIO BALLARD,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

CHIEF OF FBI; CHIEF OF VIRGINIA STATE POLICE; CHIEF WARDEN, Red Onion State Prison,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. James R. Spencer, District Judge. (CA-03-926-3)

Submitted: August 26, 2004 Decided: September 3, 2004

Before WIDENER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Mario Ballard, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Mario Ballard appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on Ballard’s civil action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)

(2000). We have reviewed the record and find that this appeal is

frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See Ballard v. Chief of FBI, No. CA-03-926-3

(E.D. Va. May 18, 2004). We dispense 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
