PER CURIAM:
Thomas P. Budnick appeals the district court’s order
granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. Budnick v. Premier
Exhibitions, Inc., No. 2:12-cv-00035-RBS-TEM (E.D. Va. Apr. 10,
2012). We grant Budnick’s application to proceed in forma
pauperis. 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
