Mark G. Simpson, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Mark G. Simpson 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 Simpson v. Lovitt,

No. CA-02-1465-AM (E.D. Va. Oct. 24, 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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
