    Aug. 2, 1996.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of
    North Carolina, at Salisbury. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr., District Judge. (CA94-170-4)
    John Bowen, II, Earl Wayne Burnette, Appellants Pro Se. Andrew Albert
    Vanore, III, YATES, MCLAMB & WEYHER, Raleigh, North Carolina,
    for Appellee.
    M.D.N.C.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before WILKINSON, Chief Judge, and WIDENER and WILKINS,
    Circuit Judges.
    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    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 Appellants' repeated failure to comply with
    discovery requests and failure 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
