Barry Hall, Appellant Pro Se. Pamela Anne Sargent, Assistant
Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Barry Hall 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 on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Hall v. Johnson, No. CA-01-

865-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 30, 2002).       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
