PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals Appellants appeal the district

court’s denial of a Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion and a corresponding motion for reconsideration,1 and the denial of a motion for

appointment of counsel.2 We affirm in part, and dismiss in part.

Addressing first appeal No. 98-1710, we find that Appellants

lack standing to appeal from this order, and accordingly we dismiss

for lack of jurisdiction. Addressing appeal No. 98-1955, we find

no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of Appellants’ motion for appointment of counsel, see Whisenaut v. Yuam,

739 F.2d 160, 163 (4th Cir. 1984), and accordingly we affirm. We

also deny all pending motions. 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

decisional process.

No. 98-1710 - DISMISSED

No. 98-1955 - AFFIRMED
