Burn’ard Hunter, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36.
PER CURIAM:

     Burn’ard Hunter, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

2000) complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can

be granted as provided in 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A(b) (West Supp. 2000).

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

agree that the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief

may be granted.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reason-

ing of the district court.   See Hunter v. Attorney General, No. CA-

00-214-7 (W.D. Va. Apr. 28, 2000).    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.




                                                          DISMISSED
