2                     RICHARDSON v. RICHARDSON
                              OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   William Lee Richardson seeks to appeal the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Richardson v. Richardson, No. CA-01-616-2 (S.D.W. Va.
Dec. 21, 2001).

   We have further reviewed Richardson’s response to our order to
show cause as to why he should not be sanctioned for filing frivolous
appeals and enjoined from filing further actions in this court until the
sanctions are paid and a district court judge finds the action is not
frivolous. We find his response legally and factually baseless. There-
fore, having filed numerous frivolous appeals in this court from dis-
trict court orders dismissing his civil complaints as frivolous, for
failure to state a claim, and as non-justiciable, Richardson is sanc-
tioned $500 for filing frivolous appeals and enjoined from filing fur-
ther actions in this court until the sanctions are paid and a district
court judge finds that the action is not frivolous.

   We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                           AFFIRMED
