FREDERICK J. ANDREWS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, DIVISION OF CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT, (DCSE); HENRICO COUNTY; APRIL FONTAINE; VERNA B. CHRISTOPHER; WANDA ANN HILL; WANDA ANNE LEE, Defendants - Appellees.

Frederick J. Andrews, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:18-cv-00301-REP) Before WYNN and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Frederick J. Andrews, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Frederick J. Andrews appeals the district court's order dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Andrews v. Va. Dep't of Soc. Servs., No. 3:18-cv-00301-REP (E.D. Va. Aug. 16, 2018). 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.

To the extent that Andrews argues that the relevant Virginia child support statute is unconstitutional, absent exceptional circumstances we will not consider arguments presented for the first time on appeal. Campbell v. Bos. Sci. Corp., 882 F.3d 70, 80 (4th Cir. 2018). We find that no such circumstances are present and, therefore, decline to consider Andrews' claim. --------

AFFIRMED
