PER CURIAM:
Leon Harrell appeals the district court’s orders denying
his disability claim under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1168 (2000), his request for
sanctions under 29 U.S.C. § 1132, his requests for attorneys’ fees
and costs, and his request for reconsideration. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court in its various orders.
See Harrell v. CNA Insurance Co., No. CA-99-292-4-12 (D.S.C. filed
Jan 15 and entered Jan. 16, 2003; Jan. 21, 2003; May 14, 2003;
May 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
