Richard W. Bell, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Richard W. Bell appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

(2006) action as frivolous. We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Bell v. Franis, No. 1:09-cv-00650-JCC-IDD (E.D. Va.

Sept. 3, 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.

AFFIRMED
