Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Launeil Sanders appeals the district court's order of judgment against him and in favor of Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Co. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. The district court acted in accor- dance with our decision in Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Co. v. Sanders, No. 96-1147 (4th Cir. July 8, 1996) (unpublished).

Therefore, we deny Sanders's motion for sanctions and affirm the decision of the district court. 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.

AFFIRMED
