PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

claim for damages and injunctive relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Ali v. Lanham, No. CA-98-1035-WMN

(May 5, 1998). 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.
