2 PER CURIAM:

Stephen Andrew Armstrong appeals the district court’s deci-

sions imposing Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 sanctions and denying his Fed. R.

Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration.* We have reviewed the

record, the district court’s opinions, and Armstrong’s claims on

appeal, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

orders on the reasoning of the district court. Armstrong v. Pettit,

No. CA-95-531-A (E.D. Va. Dec. 6, 1995; Mar. 24, 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

* Armstrong’s notice of appeal and informal brief state that he is taking appeal from the district court’s orders of August 4, October 6, October 10, October 25, November 17, December 5, 20, 1995, January 19, 1996, and March 24, 1998. This court has already determined that Armstrong’s prior appeal from the district court’s orders of August 4, October 10, October 11 (dated October 6), October 25, and November 20 (dated November 17), was untimely, and that his prior appeal from the district court’s orders of December 20, 1995, and January 19, 1996, was without merit. See Armstrong v. Goldberg, No. 96-1223 (4th Cir. Nov. 18, 1997) (unpublished) and this court’s order entered February 20, 1998. We decline to reconsider our prior holdings relative to these orders.
