PER CURIAM:


1
In these consolidated case, Patrick G. Carpenter appeals from the district court's order granting summary judgment to the Defendants in his action charging damage to his reputation and business (No. 91-1957) and the magistrate judge's order imposing sanctions against him (No. 92-2363).  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Carpenter v. Drechsler, No. CA-89-66-H (W.D. Va.  May 7, 1991 & Sept. 22, 1992).  We grant Carpenter and Norseworthy's motions to dismiss Norseworthy as a party.  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.

AFFIRMED.
