                                2
PER CURIAM:

               Roy Hunt, Jr., appeals from the district court’s order

denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion.                               We have already

decided Hunt’s appeal from the underlying order, in which the

district court dismissed Hunt’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) suit.

In that case, we affirmed the district court’s order as to all

Defendants except Dr. Thompson.                   As to Thompson, we vacated the

district     court’s        order    and    remanded      for    further      proceedings.

See   Hunt     v.    Sandhir,       No.    08-6457   (4th       Cir.    Sept.      29,   2008)

(unpublished).          Hunt’s Rule 59(e) motion reargued the claims

raised below and made in his first appeal.                         Thus, for the same

reasons outlined in our prior opinion, we affirm the district

court’s order as to all defendants except Dr. Thompson.                                  With

regard    to    the    claim       against    Thompson,         because      the    cause   of

action has already been remanded for further consideration, the

portion of the appeal contesting the district court’s treatment

of this claim is moot.              Accordingly, we dismiss this part of the

appeal.        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 IN PART;
                                                                       DISMISSED IN PART
