Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District Judge. (4:13-cv-00066-JLK) Submitted: April 17, 2014 Decided: April 21, 2014 Before WILKINSON, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., appeals the district court’s order imposing a pre-filing injunction and the court’s opinion dismissing his civil action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant Rutledge leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Rutledge v. City of Danville, No. 4:13-cv-00066-JLK (W.D. Va. Dec. 9 & Dec. 20, 2013). 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. AFFIRMED 3
