Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James J. Royal appeals the district court's orders

granting Defendants’ summary judgment motions on his 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2006) deliberate indifference to dental needs claims,

and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

orders. Royal v. Bassett, 7:08-cv-00222-jlk-mfu (W.D. Va. Dec.

9, 2008; Jan. 8, 2009). 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
