PER CURIAM:

     Emmett Johnson Jafari appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his civil action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.

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.   Jafari v. Williams, No. CA-01-253-3 (E.D.

Va. Aug. 1, 2001).    We further deny Jafari’s motion to strike

Appellees’ informal brief.    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
