PER CURIAM:

     Steven Glenn Johnson appeals the district court’s orders

granting North Carolina’s motion to set aside entry of default

judgment    and   denying   Johnson’s     ancillary   motions;     denying

Johnson’s motion to alter or amend that judgment and his companion

motion; directing Johnson to file proof of service upon North

Carolina by a certain date; dismissing Johnson’s complaint without

prejudice   for   failure   to   timely   serve   process;   and   denying

Johnson’s motion to alter or amend that judgment. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we grant

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the district court’s

rulings in the disputed orders.         We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

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

decisional process.

                                                                   AFFIRMED
