James P. Mixon, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

civil action involving domestic relations issues for lack of juris-

diction. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Mixon v. Commonwealth Attorney's
Office, No. CA-95-699 (E.D. Va. Apr. 24, 1996). We deny Mixon's

pending motions for appointment of counsel, for reconsideration of

this court's order deferring consideration of his request for coun-

sel, and for a jury trial. 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 deci-

sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
