Ronnie Clarke, Appellant Pro Se. Anthony Philip Meredith, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ronnie Clarke appeals from the district court’s order granting

Appellees’ motion to dismiss his civil action as untimely. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     Clarke v. Southside Virginia Training Ctr., No.

CA-00-686 (E.D. Va. May 11, 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.




                                                            AFFIRMED
