Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

WAVY BROADCASTING, INCORPORATED; LIN TELEVISION CORPORATION,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior District Judge. (CA-99-461-2)

Submitted: November 26, 2003 Decided: February 10, 2004

Before LUTTIG, KING, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Mark A. Ward, Appellant Pro Se. William McCardell Furr, WILLCOX & SAVAGE, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Mark A. Ward appeals the district court’s order holding

him in civil contempt of its September 30, 2002 pre-filing

injunction order. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Ward v. WAVY Broad., Inc., No. CA-99-461-2

(E.D. Va. filed June 17, 2003 & entered June 18, 2003). We deny

Ward’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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
