See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order denying

relief on her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint.* We have reviewed
the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no revers-

ible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magis-

trate judge. Smith v. Johnson-Curl, No. CA-95-968-3 (E.D. Va. June
24, 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




      *
        The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the United
States Magistrate Judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) (1994).
