DeTemple, Appellant Pro Se. Samuel Hood Foreman, BACHMANN, HESS, BACHMANN & GARDEN, Wheeling, West Virginia; Eric Simon Lipsetts, William G. Jepsen, Jr., Annapolis, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Gary L. DeTemple appeals from the district court’s orders granting summary judgment in favor of the Allstate Insurance Company in his civil action alleging improper withholding of in- surance benefits and the court’s denials of his motions for recon- sideration and recusal. We have reviewed the record and the dis- trict court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See DeTemple v. Allstate Ins. Co., No. CA-93-131 (N.D.W. Va. Feb. 5, Sept. 4, and Dec. 8, 1998). 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
