Submitted: January 18, 1996 Decided: February 15, 1996

Before HAMILTON and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William Green, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen P. Hughes, HOWELL, GIBSON & HUGHES, P.A., Beaufort, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order granting him

a thirty-day extension of time to note his appeal when he requested

a 180-day extension. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible

error. See Allied Steel v. Abilene, 909 F.2d 139, 142 (5th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Green v. Evatt, No. CA-94-376-3-18BC (D.S.C. May 9, 1995).

We note that although Appellant stated his intent to appeal from

the order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint,

he limited his notice of appeal to the order denying a further extension. Thus, this court's appellate jurisdiction is limited to

review of that order. See Gunther v. E.I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co.,

255 F.2d 710, 717-18 (4th Cir. 1958). 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.
