PER CURIAM:

     Edward F. Hodges appeals the district court’s orders denying

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

denying his motion for reconsideration.   We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Hodges v. Hudson, No. CA-01-74 (E.D. Va. Apr. 4 & 20, 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.



                                                          AFFIRMED
