William Thornton Blakey, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant William Blakey seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999)

complaint.    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, although we grant the motion to

proceed without prepayment of fees under the Prisoner Litigation

Reform Act, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(b) (West Supp. 1999), we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.     See Blakey v. Turner, No.

CA-99-39-3 (E.D. Va. May 27, 1999). 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.
