ORDER AND JUDGMENT1

1

This is an appeal from the dismissal of actions filed by plaintiff, pro se, against a host of defendants and an order of sanctions entered subsequently. The actions were rejected by the district court largely on the ground that they were matters previously litigated through appeal to this court. The district court further sanctioned plaintiff by barring him from refiling these claims pro se without the permission of the district court. We have examined the record and find no error. The orders and judgments appealed from are AFFIRMED substantially for the reasons stated by the district court.
