Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:09-cv-00743-REP-DJN) Submitted: November 20, 2012 Decided: November 26, 2012 Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and SHEDD and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ronnie Clarke, Appellant Pro Se. Lisa H. Leiner, HARMAN, CLAYTOR, CORRIGAN & WELLMAN, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Ronnie Clarke appeals the district court’s order dismissing his action against Defendants because Clarke failed to file an amended complaint as ordered by the district court. Clarke has also filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant Clarke’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s order. See Clarke v. Richmond Behavioral Auth., No. 3:09-cv-00743-REP- DJN (E.D. Va. July 27, 2012). 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.
