Sindram v. Robelen

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 10-1928 MICHAEL J. SINDRAM, Plaintiff – Appellant, v. DOUGLAS B. ROBELEN, State Actor, Defendant – Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Gerald Bruce Lee, District Judge. (1:09-cv-01082-GBL-IDD) Submitted: November 18, 2010 Decided: November 24, 2010 Before SHEDD and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael J. Sindram, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael J. Sindram appeals the district court’s order denying as frivolous his motion seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal in No. 10-1374. The denial of in forma pauperis status is immediately appealable. Roberts v. United States Dist. Ct., 339 U.S. 844, 845 (1950) (per curiam). We have reviewed the record and conclude the appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. See Sindram v. Robelen, No. 1:09-cv-01082-GBL- IDD (E.D. Va. filed July 14, 2010 & entered July 15, 2010). 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
