No. 19-6811

Decided: October 22, 2019

Before MOTZ and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

James Simpson, Appellant Pro Se.

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, 2019 WL 2330888 (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.
