trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. T.S. Ellis, III, District Judge.
(CA-01-269-AM)

Jeffrey Jenkins, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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




PER CURIAM:

     Jeffrey Jenkins seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-

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

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal

is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See Jenkins v. Fleming, No. CA-01-269-AM

(E.D. Va. filed May 29, 2001; entered May 30, 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
