Luther C. Edmonds, Appellant Pro Se. Gregory E. Lucyk, Mary Eliz- abeth Shea, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia; Abram William VanderMeer, Jr., CLARK & STANT, P.C., Vir- ginia Beach, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 3 PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, Luther C. Edmonds appeals from the district court’s orders (1) dismissing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998) complaint and related state law claims (No. 98-1495), and (2) imposing sanctions against him under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 (No. 98-1612). Our review of the record and the district court’s opinions discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Edmonds v. Clarkson, No. CA-97-364-N (E.D. Va. Mar. 15 & Apr. 9, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 4
