Anthony Ray Thompson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d)

(1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

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

reasoning of the district court. Thompson v. Virginia, No. CA-96-
162-R (W.D. Va. Feb. 16, 1996). 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
