Thurston Paul Bell, Appellant Pro Se. Kenneth L. Greene, Richard T. Morrison, Gilbert Steven Rothenberg, Gretchen M. Wolfinger, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Thurston Paul Bell appeals from the district court’s

orders: (1) denying his petition to quash a third-party record-

keeper summons issued by the Internal Revenue Service, (2) ordering

enforcement of the summons, (3) denying his motions to disqualify

the district court judge, and (4) denying his motion for the court

to invalidate a judgment of a district court in Pennsylvania. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find

no abuse of discretion and no clear error. Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court. Bell v. United

States, No. 1-06-cv-03406-WDQ (D. Md. filed July 11, 2007; entered

July 13, 2007 & October 2, 2007). We deny the United States’

motion for sanctions, and 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
