    John Paul Turner appeals the district courts order
    granting his request to proceed in forma pauperis but dismissing
    the case as patently frivolous under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B) (ii)

    frivolous.

    Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for the reasons

    stated by the district court.

    7:08-cv-00413-sgw (W.D. Va. July 9, 2008).

    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
