PER CURIAM:

          Ricky Donnell Nelson appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.    We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.   See Nelson v.

Hamilton, No. CA-02-605-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 12, 2003).    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
