Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Robert Allen Bane appeals the district court’s order

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

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.             See Bane v.

Pearson, No. CA-03-295-1-AM (E.D. Va. Mar. 11, 2004).              We grant

Bane’s unopposed motion to dismiss Ellis as a party to this appeal.

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
