No. 95-6360.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Nov. 16, 1995.Decided Nov. 27, 1995.

James Elliott Price, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.
Before MICHAEL and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) complaint and denying his motion for reconsideration.  We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error and no abuse of discretion.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Price v. Exum, No. CA-94-770-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Oct. 25, 1994 & Feb. 2, 1995).  We note that although the absolute immunity of the state court judges would not prevent the district court from awarding injunctive or declaratory relief, see Pulliam v. Allen, 466 U.S. 522, 541-42 (1984), the district court has no power to review challenges to state court proceedings, as Appellant requested in this action.  See District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 476-78 (1983).  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.
