Annotate this CaseHomer W. Walker, appellant pro se.
E.D.N.C.
AFFIRMED.
Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Homer W. Walker appeals from the district court's order dismissing as frivolous his complaint in which he alleged that the defendants had defamed him in a newspaper article. Because Walker failed to state a claim either under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) or Bivens* , we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Walker v. United States Dep't of Agriculture, No. CA-95-24-5-MC (E.D.N.C. Apr. 3, 1995). 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.
Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)
