Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Luther C. Edmonds appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion to set aside a prior order imposing sanctions against him. 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. See Edmonds v. Clarkson, No. CA-97-364-2 (E.D. Va. Oct. 20, 1999). We dispense with oral argu- ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre- sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 3
