Priest Momolu V.S. SIRLEAF, Jr., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Barbara MEIKLEJOHN; United States of America, Defendants - Appellees.
Priest Momolu V.S. Sirleaf, Jr., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. United States of America; Maryland; Unknown Judge of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland; Barbara Meiklejohn, Head Clerk of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland; Unknown Clerk(s) of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland; Unknown Clerks(s) of the Maryland Court of Appeals; Unknown Clerk(s) of the United States District Court of Maryland, Greenbelt Division; Federal Magistrate Roderick C. Young, U.S.D.C.E.D.VA; Senior Judge Henry Hudson, U.S.D.C.E.D.VA; Judge Hannah M. Lauck, U.S.D.C.E.D.VA; Unknown Clerk(s) of the United States District Court, Defendants - Appellees.
In these consolidated appeals, Priest Momolu V.S. Sirleaf, Jr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order on a pretrial matter under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) (2012) (No. 19-6521) and appeals the district court's order dismissing his civil action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012) (No. 19-6801). We dismiss the appeal from the magistrate judge's order for lack of jurisdiction, but we have considered Sirleaf's appeal arguments to the extent that the district court has affirmed or adopted the challenged rulings. As for Sirleaf's appeal of the district court's final order, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Sirleaf v. Meiklejohn, No. 3:18-cv-00562-REP (E.D. Va. May 24, 2019). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
