(CA-97-901-2)


Submitted:   March 26, 1998                 Decided:   April 6, 1998

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Paul M. Blowe, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint as frivolous under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915A(e)(2)(B)(i) (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find that this

appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motions for
appointment of counsel and for "subsidized relief from poverty" and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Blowe v.
City of Norfolk, No. CA-97-901-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 23, 1997). See 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915A(e)(2)(B)(i). We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-
sional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
