PER CURIAM:
Daniel Johnson Willis appeals the district court’s
order denying his motion to proceed informa pauperis on appeal.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. In
addition, we conclude the appeal is moot because this court
previously adjudicated the merits of the underlying action and
denied in forma pauperis status. Accordingly, we deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. Willis v.
Dep’t of Transp., No. 4:07-cv-00046-FL (E.D.N.C. May 12, 2008).
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
