PER CURIAM:

            James   J.    Royal    appeals       the    district     court's   orders

granting Defendants’ summary judgment motions on his 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2006) deliberate indifference to dental needs claims,

and   denying       his    Fed.       R.       Civ.    P.    59(e)     motion       for

reconsideration.          We   have    reviewed        the   record   and    find    no

reversible error.         Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

orders.     Royal v. Bassett, 7:08-cv-00222-jlk-mfu (W.D. Va. Dec.

9, 2008; Jan. 8, 2009).           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.

                                                                            AFFIRMED

                                           2
