PER CURIAM:

     Keith      Slaydon     appeals    the     district        court’s    orders

dismissing his civil action and ordering that he pay Defendants’

expenses as sanctions for misconduct during discovery.                   We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                 Accordingly,

we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.              Slaydon v. Water Country

U.S.A., No. 4:14-cv-00133-RGD-LRL (E.D. Va. Jan. 6 & Feb. 4,

2016)      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.

                                                                         AFFIRMED
