PER CURIAM:
Christopher C. Bailey, IV, appeals the district
court’s order denying his motion for default judgment and
granting defendants’ motion to dismiss his 42 U.S.C. § 1983(2006) complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(2), (5), (6). We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Bailey v. Smokowicz, No. 4:12-cv-00042-RBS-DEM (E.D. Va.
filed Sept. 13, 2012; entered Sept. 14, 2012). 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
