PER CURIAM:
Matthew A. Tompulis appeals the district court’s
orders setting aside the entry of default against HSBC and
granting Appellee’s motion to dismiss. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error.∗ Accordingly, we deny leave
to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for the
reasons stated by the district court. Tompulis v. HSBC Fin.
Corp., No. 2:08-cv-00629-RAJ-DEM (E.D. Va. Dec. 9, 2009, & May
23, 2011). 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
∗ To the extent that Tompulis’s submissions on appeal are
also construed to challenge the district court’s denial of
Tompulis’s motion for default judgment against HSBC, we likewise
discern no reversible error.
