Billy G. Asemani, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Billy G. Asemani appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his action under the Alien Torts Statute, 28 U.S.C. §

1350 (2006) and the Torture Victim Protection Act, P.L. 102-256,

106 Stat. 73. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in

forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Asemani v. Ahmadinejad, No. 1:10-cv-00874-RDB (D. Md.

Apr. 20, 2010). 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.
