PER CURIAM:

           Curtis Pennington 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 Pennington v.

Taylor, No. CA-02-604-2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 1, 2004).         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
