DICKERT, Bristol, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s orders reassigning the

case to a different judge, granting one Defendant’s motion to dis-

miss and the remaining Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and

dismissing his complaint. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gent v. Virginia

Intermont College, No. CA-97-101-A (W.D. Va. July 14, 1997 & Feb.

10 & July 9, 1998). We also deny Appellant’s motion for a ruling

concerning service. Appellant’s claims raised on appeal concerning

an alleged violation of the Freedom of Information Act and a person

not a Defendant in the instant action are not properly before this

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 decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
