PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint.* We have reviewed
the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magis-

trate judge. Winfield v. Hill, No. CA-95-145-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 4,
1996). 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




    *
      The parties consented to disposition by a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
