PER CURIAM:

     Kenneth Lee Crow appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his suit for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be

granted.   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.       See Crow v. Blalock, No. CA-

99-109-5 (N.D.W. Va. Jan. 7, 2000).        Furthermore, we deny Appel-

lee’s motion to dismiss as moot.       Finally, we deny Appellant’s mo-

tion for injunctive relief. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                              AFFIRMED
