See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order* denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magis-

trate judge. Brown v. Division of Social Servs., No. CA-94-68-L
(W.D. Va. May 15, 1995). 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




    *
      Judgment was entered by the magistrate judge pursuant to 28
U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993).
