Lyles v. Wackenhut Corr
Opinion
Clarence Lyles appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 *633 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See Holly v. Scott, 434 F.3d 287 (4th Cir. 2006) (Bivens action may not be brought against individual officers in a privately-run federal correctional facility such as Rivers Correctional Institution). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order dismissing Lyles’ complaint. 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.
AFFIRMED.
