PER CURIAM:
James A. Butler appeals the district court’s order denying
without prejudice his motion for disclosure of attorney’s fees. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find
that Butler’s appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. See United States v. Butler, No. CR-91-44-3
(E.D. Va. Mar. 15, 2002). 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.
DISMISSED
