PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint (No. 96-7131), and
his Fed. R. App. P. 24 motion for leave to proceed in forma pau-

peris (No. 96-7632). We have reviewed the record and the district

court's order dismissing Appellant's § 1983 complaint on the jury's

verdict   and   find   no   reversible   error.   See   United   States   v.

Saunders, 886 F.2d 56, 60 (4th Cir. 1989). Accordingly, we deny

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss appeal No. 96-7131.

Further, in light of the disposition of appeal No. 96-7131, we deny
leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss as moot appeal No.

96-7632. 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
