Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:12-cv-00643-REP)

Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Hephzibah Bates, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Hephzibah Bates appeals the district court’s order

dismissing her civil complaint as frivolous and delusional under

(2006). We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. Bates v. McDonnell, No. 3:12-cv-00643-REP

(E.D. Va. Sept. 24, 2012). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
