Darryl Allmond, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Darryl Allmond seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.    We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion   and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. See Allmond v. Department of Family Servs., No. CA-02-448-A

(E.D. Va. filed May 2, 2002; entered May 6, 2002).     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.




                                                           DISMISSED
