PER CURIAM:

Stephen R. Farina appeals from the district court’s orders

awarding costs and attorney fees to Dale Sanders pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1447(c) (2012), based on Farina’s second improper removal 

of a lawsuit from state court to district court, and denying 

Farina’s motions for reconsideration and for appointment of 

counsel. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Sanders v. Farina, No. 1:14-cv-01214-TSE-IDD (E.D. Va.

Apr. 21, 2016 & filed May 20, 2016; entered May 23, 2016). We 

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions 

are adequately presented in the materials before this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
