3 PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated cases, Erwin B. Patterson, Jr.,

seeks to appeal the district court’s orders cumulatively

dismissing all defendants from this civil action. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Patterson v. City of Chesapeake, No. 2:07-cv-00611-RAJ-FBS (E.D.

Va. June 20, 2008; Aug. 8, 2008; filed Sept. 30 & entered

Oct. 2, 2008). We further grant Patterson’s motion to proceed

on appeal in forma pauperis, but deny his motion to admit new

evidence. 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
