PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district courts' orders which de-

nied his four petitions to quash third-party recordkeeper summonses

issued by the Internal Revenue Service to four financial institu-

tions, ordered enforcement of the summonses, and denied his motions

for reconsideration. We have reviewed the records and the district
courts' opinions and find no abuse of discretion and no clear

error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's decisions in

appeal number 96-1963, and in appeal numbers 96-2047, 96-2048, and

96-2087, we affirm on the reasoning of the district courts. Whitt
v. Internal Revenue Service, No. MISC-96-10 (E.D. Va. June 24,

1996, July 1, 1996 & July 12, 1996); Whitt v. Internal Revenue

Service, No. MISC-96-12 (E.D. Va. June 24, 1996, July 1, 1996 &

July 12, 1996); Whitt v. United States, No. MISC-96-11 (E.D. Va.
June 24, 1996 & July 12, 1996). 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 deci-

sional process.
