Bradley, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C.; John Francis Corcoran, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 3 PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district courts' orders which de- nied his four petitions to quash third-party recordkeeper summonses issued by the Internal Revenue Service to four financial institu- tions, ordered enforcement of the summonses, and denied his motions for reconsideration. We have reviewed the records and the district courts' opinions and find no abuse of discretion and no clear error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's decisions in appeal number 96-1963, and in appeal numbers 96-2047, 96-2048, and 96-2087, we affirm on the reasoning of the district courts. Whitt v. Internal Revenue Service, No. MISC-96-10 (E.D. Va. June 24, 1996, July 1, 1996 & July 12, 1996); Whitt v. Internal Revenue Service, No. MISC-96-12 (E.D. Va. June 24, 1996, July 1, 1996 & July 12, 1996); Whitt v. United States, No. MISC-96-11 (E.D. Va. June 24, 1996 & July 12, 1996). 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 deci- sional process. AFFIRMED 4
