PER CURIAM:

     Leroy M. Thurston, Jr. appeals the district court’s orders

denying his applications to proceed in forma pauperis in each of

his civil actions.      Thurston fails to establish the district court

erred   in    denying   him   leave   to    proceed   in   forma   pauperis.

Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal,

and dismiss these appeals.       See Thurston v. Seay, No. CA-02-7-3;

Thurston v. Beskins, No. CA-02-6-3; Thurston v. Collins, No. CA-02-

5-3 (W.D. Va. Dec. 3, 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
