OPINION

PER CURIAM:

In six of these consolidated appeals, Basil Graham appeals from
the district court's orders denying his applications for leave to pro-
ceed in forma pauperis and dismissing his cases for his failure to pay
filing fees. We have reviewed the records and district court's opinions
and find no reversible error. See Graham v. U.S. Transportation, No.
CA-99-90-1 (N.D.W. Va. June 15, 1999); Graham v. Foley-Belsaw

                    3
Locksmith, No. CA-99-91-1 (N.D.W. Va. June 15, 1999); Graham v.
Planning and Zoning, No. CA-99-92-1 (N.D.W. Va. June 15, 1999);
Graham v. President of the United States, No. CA-99-100-1 (N.D.W.
Va. June 21, 1999); Graham v. Cox, No. CA-99-101-1 (N.D.W. Va.
June 21, 1999); Graham v. Tri-Chem Liquid Embroidery, No. CA-99-
108-1 (N.D.W. Va. June 28, 1999).

In another of Graham's cases, the court did not err when it dis-
missed the complaint as frivolous and imposed permissible restric-
tions upon Graham's ability to file new complaints in the Northern
District of West Virginia. See Graham v. Ohio County School Board,
No. CA-99-109-1 (N.D.W. Va. June 28, 1999).

Finally, the district court's dismissal of Graham's breach of con-
tract claim against an Alabama landowner was properly dismissed for
his failure to allege the requisite amount in controversy to establish
diversity jurisdiction. See Graham v. Bice, No. CA-99-127-1 (N.D.W.
Va. June 28, 1999).

Accordingly, we deny Graham's motions for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis on appeal and dismiss these appeals on the reasoning
of the district court. 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
