PER CURIAM:
Clifford Liahben appeals the district court’s order
adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
dismissing as frivolous Liahben’s action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2006), Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau
of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and the civil RICO statute.*
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Liahben v. Osteen, No. 1:09-cv-00226-NCT-PTS (M.D.N.C.
June 29, 2009). 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
* “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations” Act, 18
U.S.C. § 1964 (2006).
