Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
trict of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, District Judge.
(CA-97-917)


Submitted:   April 15, 1999                 Decided:   April 21, 1999

Donzell L. Jackson, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jackson appeals the district court’s order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998).      We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation and find that this appeal fails to state a claim

upon which relief may be granted.     Accordingly, we dismiss the ap-

peal on the reasoning of the district court.     Jackson v. County of

Dinwiddie, No. CA-97-917 (E.D. Va. July 1, 1998). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                           DISMISSED
