PER CURIAM:

     Andre Edmonds appeals the district court’s order dismissing

all claims against Elizabeth H. Paret, Clerk for the United States

District Court, Eastern District of Virginia.*     We have reviewed

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

the reasoning of the district court.   See Edmonds v. Moore, No. CA-

02-805 (E.D. Va. Jan. 15, 2003).    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




     *
       Edmonds’ claim, raised for the first time on appeal, that
Paret perpetrated a fraud on the district court in her defense of
this matter is not properly before this court for consideration.

, 250 (4th Cir. 1993).
