PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Ronald L. Lanthron appeals from

the district court’s orders denying his motion entitled “Complex

Motion to Amend for Reconsideration and to Appoint Proper Counsel

or an Expedited ‘Notice of Appeal.’”      Lanthron merely repeats

arguments raised in a previous action before this court, which was

construed as a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition, challenging his

1971 court martial and dishonorable discharge from the United

States Marine Corps.   We affirm the district court orders that

denied the motion because the motion is meritless.     We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments have been

adequately presented in the materials before the court.



                                                          AFFIRMED
