David M. Kissi, Appellant Pro Se.  Amy E. Askew, James Patrick
Ulwick, KRAMON & GRAHAM, PA, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee
DLA PIPER.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

                                2
PER CURIAM:

              David     Kissi          appeals        the     district       court’s      order

dismissing as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.

We    have    reviewed      the    record        and     find      no     reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.       Kissi v. Pramco II, LLC, No. 1:08-cv-01174-GBL-JFA (E.D.

Va. filed Mar. 4, 2009, and entered Mar. 6, 2009).

              Appellee DLA Piper has moved, pursuant to Fed. R. App.

P. 38, for an order enjoining Kissi from filing an action in any

court, including state courts, without prior approval.                                 We find

the    authority       cited      by     DLA         Piper    to     be     unpersuasive      in

supporting      such    a   blanket          injunction.           However,    in    light    of

Kissi’s repeated abusive filings, we find sanctions appropriate.

Accordingly, we grant the motion as follows:                                Kissi is hereby

directed to pay DLA Piper the sum of $500; moreover, he is

enjoined from filing any further actions in this court until

this sanction is paid and a district court judge certifies that

his claim is not frivolous.

              We deny Kissi’s motion for appointment of counsel, as

well as all his remaining pending motions, and 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

                                                 3
