No. 16-2073

L. RUTHER,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

MATT BEVIN,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:16-cv-01045-LO-MSN)

Submitted: January 31, 2017 Decided: February 2, 2017

Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

L. Ruther, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

L. Ruther appeals the district court’s order summarily

dismissing his incomprehensible civil action. 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. Ruther v. Bevin, No.

1:16-cv-01045-LO-MSN (E.D. Va. Aug. 22, 2016). 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.

DISMISSED
