DICKENS III v. WAKEMED HEALTH HOSPITALS INC (2018)

Wellington Dickens, III, appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Dickens' complaint for failure to state a claim. On appeal, Dickens challenges only the district court's summary review and dismissal of his complaint without a jury trial or even service of summons. However, the district court acted properly and in accord with the dictates of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012). See Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 214, 127 S.Ct. 910, 166 L.Ed.2d 798 (2007) (describing history of § 1915(e)(2)(B)). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's ruling. 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.
