UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-7490 CHRISTOPHER MOSBY, a/k/a C. Joseph Mosbey, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CLARENCE JOE DELFORGE, III; ERIK A. HOOKS, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Thomas D. Schroeder, Chief District Judge. (1:20-cv-00884-TDS-JLW) Submitted: May 31, 2022 Decided: June 9, 2022 Before THACKER, QUATTLEBAUM, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Christopher Mosby, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Christopher Mosby appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Mosby’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Mosby v. DelForge, No. 1:20-cv00884-TDS-JLW (M.D.N.C. Sept. 29, 2021). See generally Bey v. State, 847 F.3d 559, 561 (7th Cir. 2017) (rejecting as baseless claim “that as a result of eighteenth-century treaties the United States has no jurisdiction over its Moorish inhabitants”); United States v. Burris, 231 F. App’x 281, 282 (4th Cir. 2007) (holding “patently frivolous” the claim that district court lacked jurisdiction based on defendant’s status as a Moorish-American). 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
