PER CURIAM:

     Howard Perry Stafford appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.

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. See Stafford v. Warden, Marion Corr. Treat-

ment Ctr., No. CA-01-229 (W.D. Va. Apr. 27, 2001).     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
