Houdyschell,   Jr.,  WEST   VIRGINIA  DIVISION       OF  CORRECTIONS,
Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     David Lawrence Dixon appeals the district court’s orders de-

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

and denying a subsequent motion to vacate under Fed. R. Civ. P.

60(b).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no

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

district court. See Dixon v. Painter, No. CA-00-602-5 (S.D. W. Va.

Mar. 1, 2001; Sep. 27, 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.
