PER CURIAM:

     Launeil Sanders appeals the district court's order of judgment

against him and in favor of Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance

Co. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. The district court acted in accor-

dance with our decision in Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance
Co. v. Sanders, No. 96-1147 (4th Cir. July 8, 1996) (unpublished).

Therefore, we deny Sanders's motion for sanctions and affirm the

decision of the district court. We 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 deci-

sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
