    This document summarizes an unpublished decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissing an appeal by John Paul Turner of a district court order. The district court had granted Turner's request to proceed in forma pauperis but dismissed his case as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). The Court of Appeals reviewed the record and also found Turner's appeal to be frivolous, so it dismissed the appeal for the same reasons provided by the district court without holding oral arguments.
