Robert Eugene Johnson, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Robert Eugene Johnson, Jr., a Virginia inmate, appeals the

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

(West Supp. 2001) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp.

2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find that this appeal is frivolous.     Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.      See Johnson v.

Robinson, No. CA-01-144-3 (E.D. Va. July 10, 2001).     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
