Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, Arthur O. Armstrong appeals district court orders dismissing his motions for leave to file law- suits. We have reviewed the records and the district court orders and find no error. Accordingly, we deny Armstrong’s motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeals as friv- olous. We further deny Armstrong’s motions for summary judgment.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
