PER CURIAM:

              Gregory    A.    Richardson       appeals   the   district    court’s

order imposing a pre-filing injunction because of his frequent

and frivolous legal actions.               See Richardson v. Virginia Dep’t

of Corr., No. 3:07-cv-00514-REP (E.D. Va. Jan. 8, 2009).                           We

have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion in the

district court’s order.          See In re Burnley, 988 F.2d 1, 3-4 (4th

Cir.    1992)    (stating      standard    of    review).        Accordingly,      we

affirm and deny as moot Richardson’s motion for bail or release

pending   appeal.        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

                                           2
