D. Md.
AFFIRMED.
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), action (No. 96-1543), and his action brought pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b) (1988); 28 U.S.C.A. § 2401(b) (West 1994); 28 U.S.C.A. §§ 2671-2680 (West 1994) (No. 96-6587). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Silvers v. Welsh, Silvers v. United States, Nos. CA-93-2634-HNM; CA-94-3502-HNM (D. Md. Apr. 1, 1996).
In addition, Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying his motions for disqualification and/or recusal (Nos. 96-6234; 96-1347).* We find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motions. See In re Beard, 811 F.2d 818, 827 (4th Cir. 1987); United States v. Parker, 742 F.2d 127, 128 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 1076 (1984). 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
This court has jurisdiction over these appeals pursuant to the doctrine of cumulative finality. See Equipment Fin. Gp., Inc. v. Traverse Computer Brokers, 973 F.2d 345, 347 (4th Cir. 1992)
