Submitted:    November 20, 1997        Decided:   December 9, 1997


Before MURNAGHAN, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.    Robert Paul Crouch, Jr.,
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).



PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders denying relief

on his Bivens* complaint and denying his motion for reconsidera-
tion. We have reviewed the record and the district court's orders

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the rea-

soning of the district court. Turner v. United States Dep't of

Agric., No. CA-97-429-R (W.D. Va. June 30 and Aug. 27, 1997). 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
