PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

copyright infringement suit and assessing sanctions against him

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. Our review of the record and the district

court's opinion discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

Nardi's motion for default judgment and affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. Nardi v. Cincinnati Ins. Co. , No. CA-97-22-H
(W.D. Va. Aug. 28, 1997). We deny Appellee's motion for sanctions

and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.
