PER CURIAM:

      Li Yu Chen appeals the district court’s order granting Plaintiff’s motion for

summary judgment and ordering that Chen return profits derived from a Ponzi scheme.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Chen’s

application to proceed in forma pauperis, but affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Bell v. Chen, No. 3:14-cv-00091-GCM (W.D.N.C. Nov. 29, 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

                                            3
