trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Chief District
Judge. (CA-96-455-R)


Submitted:   August 20, 1996               Decided:   August 30, 1996


Before HALL and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit
Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Jeffrey K. Tilley, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. 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. Tilley v. Scherer, No. CA-96-455-R (W.D. Va. June 11, 1996).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
