Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order imposing

monetary sanctions, to be paid to the court for his violation of

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Duggan v.
Everd, No. CA-93-2740-HAR (D. Md. May 22, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
