See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Frank A. Balcar appeals the district court’s orders denying
his motion to remand, granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and
striking Balcar’s response to Defendants’ response to his motion
for summary judgment. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Balcar v. Bell & Assoc. L.L.C., No. CA-02-2-5
(N.D.W. Va. Sept. 4 & 10, 2002). Although we deny Appellees’
motion for fees and costs, we caution Balcar that future appeals
attempting to litigate the same issues adjudicated in this case may
result in sanctions. 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
