PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint (No. 96-7131), and
his Fed. R. App. P. 24 motion for leave to proceed in forma pau-

peris (No. 96-7632). We have reviewed the record and the district

court's order dismissing Appellant's § 1983 complaint on the jury's

verdict   and   find   no   reversible   error.   See   United   States   v.

Saunders, 

, 60 (4th Cir. 1989). Accordingly, we deny

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss appeal No. 96-7131.

Further, in light of the disposition of appeal No. 96-7131, we deny
leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss as moot appeal No.

96-7632. 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.




                                                                 DISMISSED
