PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district courts order entering

judgment in favor of Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994)

action. We have reviewed the record, the trial testimony, and the

district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recom-

mendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel and affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Conner v. Smith, No. CA-94-249-R
(W.D. Va. May 5, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
