Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western

(CA-96-149-R)


Submitted:   July 23, 1996                 Decided:   July 31, 1996


Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Anthony Atkins, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint as frivolous. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

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

district court. Atkins v. Angelone, No. CA-96-149-R (W.D. Va. Feb.
14, 1996). 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
