See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

       Habakkuk E.B. Yowel 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 affirm on the reasoning of

the district court.     See Yowel v. Gilmore, No. CA-01-952-2 (E.D.

Va., filed Feb. 6, 2002; entered Feb. 7, 2002).          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
