Tommy Lee Stevens, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Tommy Lee Stevens appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2006). We have reviewed the

record and find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court.

Stevens v. Effler, No. 5:08-cv-00618-H (E.D.N.C. May 28, 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
