Joseph A. Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph W.H. Mott, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joseph A. Brown 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 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Brown v. Ratledge,

No. 7:16-cv-00303-EKD-RSB (W.D. Va. Sept. 29, 2017). 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
