PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his
motion for appointment of counsel. Although Appellant's appeal of

the district court's order denying his motion was interlocutory

when filed, it is now ripe because the district court entered final

judgment prior to this court's review of the appeal. See Equipment
Fin. Group, Inc. v. Traverse Computer Brokers, 973 F.2d 345, 347

(4th Cir. 1992). We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Hassan v. AT&T

Corp., No. CA-97-1433-A (E.D. Va. Oct. 1, 1997). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
