PER CURIAM:
Rodney McDonald Williams, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order and judgment dismissing his action with prejudice. We
dismiss the appeal as duplicative because we dismissed as
frivolous his prior appeal from the same order and judgment.
See Williams v. Dep’t of Corr., 622 F. App’x 310 (4th Cir. Nov.
23, 2015) (No. 15-7034). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed
in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal as duplicative. 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.
DISMISSED
