David M. Kissi, Appellant Pro Se.       Amy E. Askew, KRAMON      &
GRAHAM, PA, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee DLA PIPER.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

                                2
PER CURIAM:

              David    Kissi          appeals        the     district       court’s      order

dismissing as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.

We    have   reviewed      the    record        and     find      no     reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.       Kissi v. Pramco II, LLC, No. 8:09-cv-00267-AW (D. Md.

Feb. 12, 2009).

              Appellee DLA Piper has moved, pursuant to Fed. R. App.

P. 38, for an order enjoining Kissi from filing an action in any

court, including state courts, without prior approval.                                We find

the    authority      cited      by     DLA         Piper    to     be     unpersuasive      in

supporting     such    a   blanket          injunction.           However,    in    light    of

Kissi’s repeated abusive filings, we find sanctions appropriate.

Accordingly, we grant the motion as follows:                               Kissi is hereby

directed to pay DLA Piper the sum of $500; moreover, he is

enjoined from filing any further actions in this court until

this sanction is paid and a district court judge certifies that

his claim is not frivolous.

              We deny Kissi’s motion for appointment of counsel, as

well as all of his remaining pending motions, and 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

                                                3
