Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John D. Simpson appeals the district court’s orders denying
his petition for a writ of mandamus and his motion filed under Fed.
R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Simpson v. Supreme
Court Judge, No. CA-01-538-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 19, 2002; Apr. 18,
2002). 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
