appeals

the

district

court’s

order

denying his pleading titled “Notice of Removal of a Civil Action

the

action

as

We have reviewed

As the plaintiff in

the purported state court proceeding, Pleasant is not permitted
to remove the action to federal court, so the dismissal was not
error.

Accordingly, though we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, we affirm the decision of the district court.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions

are

the

materials

before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

∗

Pleasant does not challenge in his informal brief the
imposition of the prefiling injunction.
Thus, that portion of
the district court’s order is not before us.
See 4th Cir. R.
34(b).
