Deborah Sue Aldridge, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Deborah   Sue   Aldridge       appeals    the    district   court’s

order denying without prejudice her application to proceed in

forma pauperis in her civil action.             We have reviewed the record

and find no abuse of discretion.             Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.                  Aldridge v. Hansen, No.

3:09-cv-00157-REP (E.D. Va. Mar. 30, 2009).                   We deny Aldridge’s

motions to expedite and 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
