(CA-95-531-A) Submitted: March 30, 1999 Decided: April 23, 1999 Before WIDENER and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge. No. 98-1710 dismissed and No. 98-1955 affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Richard L. Bast, Appellant Pro Se. Victor Michael Glasberg, VICTOR M. GLASBERG & ASSOCIATES, Alexandria, Virginia; Frank Willard Dunham, Jr., COHEN, GETTINGS & DUNHAM, Arlington, Virginia; Barbara Ozella Reves, Alexandria, Virginia; John Otto Easton, JORDAN, COYNE & SAVITS, Fairfax, Virginia; Patricia Griest, Beavercreek, Ohio; Steven Robert Becker, VORYS, SATER, SEYMOUR & PEASE, Washington, D.C., for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).1 Appeal No. 98-1710. 2 Appeal No. 98-1955. 4 PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals Appellants appeal the districtcourt’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 findno 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
