PER CURIAM:
Ronnie A. Vaughan appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
See Vaughan v. Watts, No. 7:08-cv-00381-jlk-mfu (W.D. Va.
July 8, 2008). Because the district court’s dismissal was
Vaughan’s third strike under the Prison Litigation Reform Act,
28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2000),* Vaughan may not proceed in forma
pauperis in any civil action or appeal filed while he is
incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under
imminent danger of serious physical injury. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g) (2000). 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
* See Vaughan v. Powell, No. 1:03-cv-898 (E.D. Va. January
24, 2005); Vaughan v. Jail Deputies, No. 1:00-cv-364 (E.D. Va.
August 8, 2000).
