See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Alvin O. Washington appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.   We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Washington v. Ryder,

No. CA-02-575-7 (W.D. Va. Mar. 31, 2003).    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
