PER CURIAM:

            John    D.   Black     appeals     the   district   court’s       order

dismissing    his    civil    action     for    improper    venue.       We    have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                    Accordingly,

we   deny   leave   to   proceed    in   forma   pauperis    and     dismiss    the

appeal for the reasons stated by the district court.                     Black v.

New Jersey, No. 5:08-cv-00193-F (E.D.N.C. Mar. 4, 2009).                        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.

                                                                        DISMISSED

                                         2
