Annotate this CaseAppeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Elkins.
Philocles Joffre, Appellant Pro Se.
N.D.W. Va.
AFFIRMED.
Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Philocles Joffre seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his civil rights complaint.* Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Joffre v. United States Attorney General, No. CA-93-65-E (N.D.W. Va. June 18, 1993). 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
Joffre's complaint raised claims under 42 U.S.C.s 1983 (1988) and under the decision in Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)
