                                   2
PER CURIAM:

            Ronnie     Clarke   appeals     the   district   court’s    order

dismissing his action against Defendants because Clarke failed

to file an amended complaint as ordered by the district court.

Clarke   has    also   filed    an   application    to   proceed   in   forma

pauperis.      We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, although we grant Clarke’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s order.

See Clarke v. Richmond Behavioral Auth., No. 3:09-cv-00743-REP-

DJN (E.D. Va. July 27, 2012).              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
