Defendant – Appellee,

and

HSBC; HSBC CONSUMER LENDING; HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDING, INC.,

Defendants.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:08-cv-00629-RAJ-DEM)

Submitted: October 18, 2011 Decided: December 15, 2011

Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Matthew A. Tompulis, Appellant Pro Se. William McCardell Furr, Bryan C. R. Skeen, WILLCOX & SAVAGE, PC, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Matthew A. Tompulis appeals the district court’s

orders setting aside the entry of default against HSBC and

granting Appellee’s motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. ∗ Accordingly, we deny leave

to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for the

reasons stated by the district court. Tompulis v. HSBC Fin.

Corp., No. 2:08-cv-00629-RAJ-DEM (E.D. Va. Dec. 9, 2009, & May

23, 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.

DISMISSED

∗ To the extent that Tompulis’s submissions on appeal are also construed to challenge the district court’s denial of Tompulis’s motion for default judgment against HSBC, we likewise discern no reversible error.
