PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Luther C. Edmonds appeals from

the district court’s orders (1) dismissing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983

(West 1994 & Supp. 1998) complaint and related state law claims

(No. 98-1495), and (2) imposing sanctions against him under Fed. R.

Civ. P. 11 (No. 98-1612). Our review of the record and the district

court’s opinions discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Edmonds v. Clarkson,

No. CA-97-364-N (E.D. Va. Mar. 15 & Apr. 9, 1998). 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.
