PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

relief on her 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. Summers v. Sturgill, No. CA-95-137-B (W.D. Va. Jan. 22,
1996). Additionally, we deny the Appellees' motions to dismiss. 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
