Garfield William Holley, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher Garrett Hill, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Vir- ginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Garfield William Holley appeals magistrate judge’s order deny- ing his motions to set aside the jury’s verdict in favor of Appel- lee and to alter or amend its final judgment.* We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the order of the district court. See Holley v. Baker, No. CA-98-643-7 (W.D. Va. Apr. 26, 2000). We also deny Holley’s motion for the appointment of coun- sel. 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 * The parties consented to have this matter tried by a magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) (1994). 2
