PER CURIAM:

Brenda Coleman Gillis appeals from the district court’s order denying her motion 

to proceed in forma pauperis. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Gillis v. Wells Fargo 

Bank, N.A., No. 3:20-cv-00097-JAG (E.D. Va. Mar. 11, 2020). We deny Gillis’ motion 

for a temporary restraining order/stay pending appeal. 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
