Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Appellants appeal the district court’s order dismissing their civil action. 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. Ditton v. Morrison, Nos. CA- 98-958-A; CA-99-1901-A (E.D. Va. Feb. 4, 2000). The pending motion for summary disposition is denied as moot. Ditton’s motion to ex- ceed this court’s page limitation on motion pleadings is also denied. We deny Ditton’s second motion for relief pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 8. The motion for sanctions and a show cause order is meritless, and is denied as such. Finally, 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 3
