OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Jerry W. Hopkins appeals from the district court's order dismissing his civil complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C.s 1915(d) (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.1 Hopkins v. Armstrong & Armstrong, No. CA-92272-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 25, 1992). 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

1 We note that, to the extent Hopkins is challenging the State court's denial of in forma pauperis status to appeal his state tort action, this claim is frivolous. See Ganey v. Barefoot, 749 F.2d 1124
