Jay D. Gould, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jay D. Gould, Jr., a Virginia state inmate, appeals the dis-

trict court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999).

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 and deny Gould’s motion for a temporary re-

straining order and preliminary injunction.     See Gould v. Swisher,

No. CA-99-486-7 (W.D. Va. July 30, 1999).      Gould’s motion for ap-

pointment of counsel is denied.       See Whisenant v. Yuam, 739 F.2d

160, 163 (4th Cir. 1984).   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.
