Bemis, 500 F.3d 1214, 1217 (10th Cir. 2007). 1 Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and for substantially the same reasons stated in the district court’s dismissal order, we affirm. Mr. Emrit provides no basis in this brief for this court to decide otherwise. We deny his motion to proceed in forma pauperis because he has not presented any “reasoned, nonfrivolous argument” in support of his appeal. Lister v. Dep't of the Treasury, 408 F.3d 1309, 1312 (10th Cir. 2005). 2 AFFIRMED.

Because Mr. Emrit proceeds pro se, we construe his filings liberally but we do not act as his advocate. See James v. Wadas, 724 F.3d 1312, 1315 (10th Cir. 2013).

The district court noted: Mr. Emrit “has filed at least nineteen cases against the Grammys since 2023 in federal courts in” fourteen states, “all of which have been dismissed as frivolous, malicious or for failure to state a claim.” ROA, Vol. 1 at 23.
