Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle Dis- trict of North Carolina, at Salisbury. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr., District Judge. (CA-94-170-4) Submitted: November 21, 1995 Decided: August 2, 1996 Before WILKINSON, Chief Judge, and WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. John Bowen, II, Earl Wayne Burnette, Appellants Pro Se. Andrew Albert Vanore, III, YATES, MCLAMB & WEYHER, Raleigh, North Caro- lina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Appellants appeal from the district court's order denying a motion for the district court judge to recuse himself and from the order dismissing this diversity action as a sanction for Appel- lants' repeated failure to comply with discovery requests and fail- ure to comply with the court's orders. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bowen v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., No. CA-94-170-4 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 30 & 31, 1995). 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 2
