Nancy E. Gilberg, Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, for appellee Shughart.
John A. Sutherland, Jr., Siciliano, Ellis, Dyer & Boccarosse, for appellee Myers.
Stephen M. Sayers, Hunton & Williams, for remaining appellees.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER, and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
James L. Martin seeks to appeal from the orders of the district court dismissing the defendants from his diversity/civil rights action.

2
We agree with the district court that it lacked personal jurisdiction over the defendants.

3
We also find no abuse of discretion in the district court's denial of Martin's Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 motion for reconsideration.

4
Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal.  We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

5
DISMISSED.
