PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's order denying relief

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

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate

judge. Parker v. Davis, No. CA-95-866 (E.D. Va. Sept. 16, 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 proceed before a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
