PER CURIAM:

Appellants appeal the district court’s order dismissing their

civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. Ditton v. Morrison, Nos. CA-

98-958-A; CA-99-1901-A (E.D. Va. Feb. 4, 2000). The pending motion

for summary disposition is denied as moot. Ditton’s motion to ex-

ceed this court’s page limitation on motion pleadings is also

denied. We deny Ditton’s second motion for relief pursuant to Fed.

R. App. P. 8. The motion for sanctions and a show cause order is

meritless, and is denied as such. Finally, 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
