Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          By order entered March 31, 2005, the district court

permanently enjoined and prohibited Bahman Payman from filing any

lawsuit against Gabor Laufer, M.D., and other named individuals

without first obtaining written leave from the court.   In February

2006, Payman sought leave from the district court to file a lawsuit

against Laufer.   By order entered February 28, 2006, the district

court denied Payman’s request.    Payman now appeals the district

court’s denial.

          We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.   In re: Bahman Payman, No. 2:06-MC-00003-jpj (W.D. Va.

Feb. 28, 2006).   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.



                                                          AFFIRMED
