PER CURIAM:

     Roberto Chavez appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.   We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny Chavez’s motion for

appointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Chavez v. Alderman, No. CA-99-1550-AM (E.D. Va. filed

Mar. 27, 2001; entered Apr. 2, 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.
