John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     John Paul Turner appeals the district court’s orders denying

his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and denying his

motion for reconsideration.     We have reviewed the record and the

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

we deny the motion to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.     Turner v. United

States, No. MISC-01-54 (W.D. Va. filed Oct. 26, entered Oct. 29,

2001; entered Nov. 16, 2001).    We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                          DISMISSED
