Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           John F. Piwowarski appeals from the district court's

order denying his motion to reopen his case.             We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. ∗         Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.               Piwowarski v.

Morgan, No. 3:08-cv-00068-JPB-JES (N.D. W. Va. Aug. 31, 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

      ∗
       Because Piwowarski’s suit was dismissed without prejudice,
Piwowarski may still refile his suit in the district court. As
the district court has explained, Piwowarski must refile his
suit as a new case and pay the appropriate fees. We express no
opinion on the timeliness or merits of Piwowarski’s claims.

                                    2
