Noble El-Bey v. City of Greensboro

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Noble Tornello Fontaine Pierce El-Bey appeals the district court’s orders adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss his civil action and impose a pre-filing injunction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We further conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the pre-filing injunction. See Cromer v. Kraft Foods N.A., Inc., 390 F.3d 812, 817-18 (4th Cir. 2004) (setting forth standard of review and four factors used to evaluate propriety of a pre-filing injunction). Accordingly, although we grant El-Bey leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See El-Bey v. City of Greensboro, No. 1:10-cv-00572-NCT-JEP (M.D.N.C. March 21, 2012; May 16, 2013). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
