Gerry Lee Rouse, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Gerry Lee Rouse, Sr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint for failure to

state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2000).             We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.             See Rouse v.

Tennis, No. CA-05-266-2 (E.D. Va. May 27, 2005).        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
