Andrew R. Sebok, Appellant Pro Se. Fernando Groene, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Andrew R. Sebok appeals the district court's order imposing
sanctions against him pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See In re: Sebok, No. CA-97-423-2 (E.D. Va. Aug.
29, 1997). We note that although Sebok contends he did not join in

noting the appeal of a motion filed on behalf of Dirk Ladson under
28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998), Sebok's name and

signature appear on the notice of appeal and the accompanying cer-

tificate of service. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
