John Marvin Ballard, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: John Marvin Ballard appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), after a review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant Ballard’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Ballard v. Andrews, No. 5:13-ct-03073-H (E.D.N.C. Apr. 28, 2014). 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 2
