Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting Appel-

lees’ motion for summary judgment, thereby denying relief on his

(1994) complaint and denying relief on his state law

claims of medical malpractice and negligence. 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 and deny Appellant’s motion for appointment of counsel and

motion for sanctions. Turner v. Hudson, No. CA-94-285-R (W.D. Va.

Mar. 20, 1998). 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
