UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 11-1709

NATHANIEL KNOX, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA CUMBERLAND COUNTY TRANSPORTATION; MAJESTIC LUXURY TOURS, INCORPORATED; RUDY; UNKNOWN NAME DRIVER AND HELPER, Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:11-cv-00107-BO)

Submitted: November 17, 2011 Decided: November 22, 2011

Before KING, DAVIS, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Nathaniel Knox, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Nathaniel Knox appeals the district court’s order denying his motion seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

The denial of in forma pauperis status is immediately appealable. Roberts v. U.S. Dist. Ct., 339 U.S. 844, 845 (1950) (per curiam). We have reviewed the record and conclude the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and affirm the order denying pauper status for the reasons stated by the district court. See Knox v. North Carolina, No. 5:11-cv-00107-BO (E.D.N.C. June 9, 2011).

We 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
