PER CURIAM:
Georgia Anne Snyder-Falkinham and Joseph L. Anthony appeal the
district court’s order dismissing Snyder-Falkinham’s 42 U.S.C. §
1983 (2000) complaint, and the orders imposing sanctions and costs
to the Defendants.* We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinions and orders and find no reversible error. We have
reviewed the delay in entering orders imposing sanctions and costs,
and although we find the delay lengthy and unexplained, we can
ascertain no harm. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Snyder-Falkinham v. Stockburger, No. CA-96-83-
7-R (W.D. Va. filed Jun. 7, 2002, entered Jun. 10, 2002; filed Aug.
29, 1996, entered Aug. 30, 1996). 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
*
To the extent that Anthony seeks to appeal the judgment in
the § 1983 action, or the district court’s factual findings
underlying that judgment, he lacks standing to do so because he was
not a party to the § 1983 action.
