    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 95-2047

    JOHN BOWEN, II, d/b/a Marbo Limited; EARL


    WAYNE BURNETTE,
    Plaintiffs - Appellants,
    versus
    STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY, A stock
    company in Bloomington, Illinois,
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Salisbury. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr.,
    District Judge. (CA-94-170-4)
    Submitted:

    November 21, 1995

    Decided:

    August 2, 1996

    Before WILKINSON, Chief Judge, and WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit


    Judges.
    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    John Bowen, II, Earl Wayne Burnette, Appellants Pro Se. Andrew
    Albert Vanore, III, YATES, MCLAMB & WEYHER, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellants appeal from the district court's order denying a
    motion for the district court judge to recuse himself and from the
    order dismissing this diversity action as a sanction for Appellants' repeated failure to comply with discovery requests and failure to comply with the court's orders. We have reviewed the record
    and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error.
    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
    Bowen v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., No. CA-94-170-4 (M.D.N.C. Mar.
    30 & 31, 1995). 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
