UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT RONALD EUGENE RICE,  Plaintiff-Appellant, v. VICTORY MILLS, Plaintiff, v. NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY; STATE OF ARKANSAS; SOUTHERN AIR  No. 01-7273 TRANSPORT; ESTATE OF GEORGE W.

G. Ross Anderson, Jr., District Judge. (CA-00-3937-9-17AJ) Submitted: September 4, 2002 Decided: September 24, 2002 Before LUTTIG and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. 2 RICE v. MILLS Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. COUNSEL Ronald Eugene Rice, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). OPINION PER CURIAM: Ronald E. Rice1 filed this action in the district court asserting gov- ernment officials and agencies conspired to import and distribute cocaine in urban, African-American neighborhoods and subvert the profits to the Nicaraguan Contra movement. The district court, on the recommendation of the magistrate judge, dismissed the action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2000), and revoked Rice’s unvested good time credits under 28 U.S.C. § 1932 (2000).2 Rice does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that his claims were frivolous, so that por- tion of the district court’s order is not properly before us. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Moreover, because the district court properly concluded that this action was malicious or was intended to harass the Defendants, notwithstanding Rice’s self-serving statements to the contrary, we will not disturb the revocation of good time credits. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Rice v. National Security Council, No. CA-00-3937-9-17AJ (D.S.C. June 8, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions 1 We previously dismissed the appeal of Rice’s co-Plaintiff for failure to prosecute. 2 There are two statutes designated as 28 U.S.C. § 1932; the district court’s order involved the second § 1932. RICE v. MILLS 3 are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argu- ment would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED
