DEBORAH SUE ALDRIDGE,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

COL. STEVEN M. HANSEN,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:09-cv-00157-REP)

Submitted: November 4, 2009 Decided: November 18, 2009

Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Deborah Sue Aldridge, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Deborah Sue Aldridge appeals the district court’s

order denying without prejudice her application to proceed in

forma pauperis in her civil action. We have reviewed the record

and find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. Aldridge v. Hansen, No.

3:09-cv-00157-REP (E.D. Va. Mar. 30, 2009). We deny Aldridge’s

motions to expedite and 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.

AFFIRMED
