PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-

dants' motion for summary judgment and dismissing his complaint

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994). 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. Watts v. Conner, No. CA-94-586-R (W.D. Va. Sept. 24, 1996).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
