The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of a pro se complaint filed under Bivens. The appellate court found no reversible error in the lower court's application of the screening statute.
Background
Charles House, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. The district court dismissed the complaint under Section twenty-eight U.S.C. Section one thousand nine hundred fifteen A subsection B one.
The court’s reasoning
The panel reviewed the record and discerned no reversible error in the district court’s order. The court dispensed with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions were adequately presented in the materials before the court.
What it means going forward
The dismissal of the pro se Bivens action stands, and the motion for judicial notice is denied.
