Maureen Mullen Dove, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). * Judge Motz did not participate in consideration of this case. The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d) (1994). 2 PER CURIAM: Henry T. Sanders appeals three district orders: (1) the de- nial of relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) com- plaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(e)(2) (West Supp. 1998) (No. 98- 2535), (2) the issuance of an order to show cause why Sanders should not be sanctioned (No. 99-1071), and (3) the denial of Defendants’ motion for sanctions (No. 99-1345). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, in No. 98-2535, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Sanders v. Maryland, No. CA-98-2387-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 24, 1998). We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis in No. 99-1071 but dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. Finally, we affirm the denial of Defendants’ motion for sanctions in No. 99-1345 on the reasoning of the district court. See Sanders v. Maryland, No. CA-98-2387-PJM (D. Md. Feb. 25, 1999). We also deny all of Sanders’ outstanding motions, including his motions for a stay, general relief, an injunction, sanctions, settlement alternatives, restoration to the argument calendar, alternatives, an interim stay, ex parte inter- locutory relief, affirmative relief, mandate, expedition of appeal, writ of habeas corpus, transfer, judgment on counter and cross- claims, dismissal, evidentiary hearing, a show cause order, leave to file a memorandum, and default. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in 3 the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. Nos. 98-2535, 99-1345 - AFFIRMED No. 99-1071 - DISMISSED 4
