PER CURIAM:

Hephzibah Bates appeals the district court’s orders

dismissing her complaints in her consolidated civil suits as 

frivolous and entering a prefiling injunction preventing Bates 

from filing further complaints related to the issues raised in 

the instant complaints. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis and dismiss the appeals for the reasons stated by 

the district court. See Bates v. Fed. Reserve Bank of Richmond, 

3:14-cv-00320-REP (E.D. Va. May 15, 2015); see also Cromer v. 

Kraft Foods N. Amer., Inc., 390 F.3d 812, 817 (4th Cir. 2004) 

(setting forth standard of review of prefiling injunction). 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.

DISMISSED
