PER CURIAM:
James Henry Simpson appeals the district court’s order dismissing his pleading,
initially construed as a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint, and later noticed by Simpson
as a “Criminal Complaint,” as frivolous and malicious. 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. Simpson v. Bishop, No. 3:18-cv-00796-JAG-RCY (E.D. Va. May 31,
2019). 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
