PER CURIAM:
In Appeal No. 09-1512, David Louis Whitehead seeks to
appeal the district court’s April 7, 2009 order: (1) denying his
motion to stay the case; (2) denying his motion to reinstate
certain dismissed Defendants and claims; and (3) denying his
motion to reconsider the district court’s entry of a prefiling
injunction against him. The order from which this appeal was
noted has been vacated by the district court’s May 1, 2009
recusal order. We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot as to
all Appellees except Midway Games and Midway Home Entertainment.
Because Midway Games and Midway Home Entertainment filed a
bankruptcy petition, we stay the appeal as to these Appellees.
See 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (2006).
Whitehead also appeals from the district court’s May
1, 2009 recusal order (Appeal No. 09-1522), the May 22, 2009
order entering a prefiling injunction against him (Appeal No.
09-1641), and the district court’s May 28, 2009 order granting
the Appellees’ motions to dismiss (Appeal No. 09-1784). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm in part for the reasons stated by the district court.
Whitehead v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. (E.D. Va. May 1, 2009; May
22, 2009; May 28, 2009). We stay these appeals as to Midway
Games and Midway Home Entertainment in light of their pending
bankruptcy case. See 11 U.S.C. § 362(a). We also deny
4
Whitehead’s motions to enjoin Justice Sotomayer’s confirmation
to the U.S. Supreme Court, to consolidate these appeals with
other appeals taken to this court, and to strike Lionsgate
Entertainment’s informal response brief. 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.
No. 09-1512 DISMISSED IN PART, STAYED IN PART
Nos. 09-1522, 09-1641, and 09-1784 AFFIRMED
IN PART, STAYED IN PART
