Thomas W. Hill, Appellant Pro Se. David Richard Hillier, GUM,
HILLIER & MCCLOSKEY, P.A., Asheville, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Thomas W. Hill appeals the district court’s orders:

(1)   affirming   the    bankruptcy       court’s    order   approving     the

Trustee’s distribution and denying Hill’s motions for recusal of

the district court judge and for an evidentiary hearing; and (2)

denying his motion for reconsideration.              We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we deny leave

to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for the

reasons stated by the district court.               Hill v. Hillier, No.

1:08-cv-00543-LHT (W.D.N.C. March 5, 2009 & March 16, 2009).               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 decisional process.



                                                                   DISMISSED
