PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's final judgment

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint.* We have

reviewed the record and the final judgment and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate

judge. Jordan v. Thomas, No. CA-94-977-R (W.D. Va. Dec. 6, 1995).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         AFFIRMED




    *
      All parties have consented to the exercise of jurisdiction
by a magistrate judge with appeal to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c)
(West 1993).
