Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing Appel- lant's civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bramble v. West, No. CA-95-2698-WMN (D. Md. Dec. 17, 1996). We further find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant's motion for relief from judgment and various motions for reconsid- eration. See Collision v. International Chem. Workers Union, 34 F.3d 233, 236 (4th Cir. 1994); United States v. Williams, 674 F.2d 310, 312 (4th Cir. 1982). Appellant's motion to issue a subpoena is denied. 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
