PER CURIAM:

              In these consolidated cases, Erwin B. Patterson, Jr.,

seeks    to    appeal    the     district    court’s      orders       cumulatively

dismissing     all    defendants    from    this    civil    action.         We   have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                      Accordingly,

we   affirm     for   the     reasons   stated      by    the     district     court.

Patterson v. City of Chesapeake, No. 2:07-cv-00611-RAJ-FBS (E.D.

Va. June 20, 2008;             Aug. 8, 2008; filed Sept. 30 & entered

Oct. 2, 2008).        We further grant Patterson’s motion to proceed

on appeal in forma pauperis, but deny his motion to admit new

evidence.      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
