James Joseph Owens, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James Joseph Owens appeals the district court’s order

dismissing this action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(e) (2006). We

have reviewed the record and find that this appeal is frivolous.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss

the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court.

Owens v. United States, No. 1:09-cv-00530-JFM (D. Md. Mar. 31,

2009). 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
