COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA; AUGUSTA COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT; COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA; GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Samuel G. Wilson, District Judge. (7:08-cv-00594-SGW) Submitted: January 28, 2009 Decided: February 11, 2009 Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: John Paul Turner appeals the district court’s order granting his request to proceed in forma pauperis but dismissing this case as patently frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2000). 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. 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. DISMISSED 2
