PER CURIAM:

     Luther C. Edmonds appeals from the district court’s order

denying his motion to set aside a prior order imposing sanctions

against him.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.    See Edmonds v. Clarkson, No.

CA-97-364-2 (E.D. Va. Oct. 20, 1999).   We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
