PER CURIAM:

              Joel D. Bieber appeals a district court order sanctioning

him for obstructing the opposing party’s access to evidence.                      We

agree   with    the     district   court     that   a    reasonably    foreseeable

consequence of Bieber’s conduct would be that the expert witness

hired by the defense would not be permitted by his employer to

testify.       We   also   agree   that    Bieber       is   responsible   for   the

reasonably foreseeable consequences of his actions.                   Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons cited by the district court.                           See

Bieber v. Teeter, No. CA-04-888-3 (E.D. Va. filed Aug. 17, 2005;

entered Aug. 18, 2005). 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
