David Lee Garner, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: David Lee Garner appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012) 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 that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Garner v. Cohen, No. 2:16-cv-00561-TLW (D.S.C. June 20, 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. DISMISSED 2
