PER CURIAM:
Theodore Justice seeks to appeal the district court’s
order reviewing the magistrate judge’s determination and denying
Justice’s application to proceed in forma pauperis. Denial of
in forma pauperis status is reviewed for abuse of discretion.
See Roberts v. United States Dist. Ct., 339 U.S. 844, 845
(1950). A review of the record indicates that the district
court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Justice v.
Hobgood, No. 5:13-cv-00677-BR (E.D.N.C. May 27, 2014). We deny
leave to proceed in forma pauperis. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
