                                2
PER CURIAM:

       Katherine A. Hoover, M.D., appeals the district court’s order

denying a “Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order or Injunctive

Relief,” and other post-judgment motions. The denial of a temporary

restraining order is ordinarily not appealable absent exceptional

circumstances.    Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 

, 1029-30

(4th   Cir.   1976).   Because   this    case   presents   no   exceptional

circumstances, we decline to review the denial of a temporary

restraining order and dismiss the appeal insofar as it pertains to

that portion of the district court’s order.           Insofar as Hoover

appeals the denial of her request for a preliminary injunction, we

have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no

abuse of discretion.    To the extent that Hoover appeals that part

of the district court’s order denying her other post-judgment

motions, we have reviewed the record and the district court’s order

and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.        See Hoover v. Briggs, No. CA-01-

300-C (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 16, 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.
