THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Marvin L. Grimm appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.   We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting

the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Grimm v. Virginia Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-00-45 (E.D. Va. Apr.

28, 2000).    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
