Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Edward Francis, Sr., appeals from a jury verdict in his favor,
seeking a new trial in the hopes of winning increased damages. In
support of his appeal, he presents thirteen allegations of error
committed by the district court. These errors involve evidentiary
rulings and denials of continuances. Our review of the record re-
veals that Appellant has failed to establish that the district
court abused its discretion regarding any of these rulings or made
any other error entitling him to relief. See Superior Form Build-
ers, Inc. v. Dan Chase Taxidermy Supply Co., 74 F.3d 488, 495 (4th
Cir. 1996); United States v. Bakker, 925 F.2d 728, 735 (4th Cir.
1991) (providing standards). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court's judgment. 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
