                            OPINION
                     _______________________
PER CURIAM

       Michael Shemonsky appeals the District Court’s order dismissing his “Motion for

60(b) Judicial Fraud by the Court of Appeals” 1 and his “Motion to Discover Ernst &

Young, LLP Accounting Files.” In his Rule 60(b) motion, Shemonsky requested the

return of the assets of Atlantic Financial Federal and monetary damages. In the discovery

motion, Shemonsky sought the accounting files of Atlantic Financial Federal held by

Ernst & Young. The District Court dismissed the motions because it determined

Shemonsky had been enjoined from filing pleadings in the District Court for the Eastern

District of Pennsylvania and had not received approval for the filing of the motions. The

District Court also ordered that no further pleadings be docketed in the case without prior

approval by the Court. Shemonsky filed a timely notice of appeal and we have jurisdiction

under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

       While the District Court in its February 22, 1993 order gave Shemonsky thirty days

to show cause why he should not be enjoined, it appears from the docket and the record

that the District Court never subsequently entered an injunction against Shemonsky.

However, we may affirm the District Court on any ground supported by the record.

Tourscher v. McCullough, 184 F.3d 236, 240 (3d Cir. 1999). Shemonsky did not set forth

any adequate basis for the relief that he sought in the motions.

   1
     Although the title of the motion implies fraud by this Court, because Shemonsky
does not make any specific allegations of fraud and none of the members of this panel
participated in the 1990 appeal he submitted to support the motion, we decline to recuse
ourselves.

                                             2
      Because the instant motions are clearly without merit, we will affirm the District

Court’s order.
