Arthur Tracy, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

        Arthur Tracy appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint for failure to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted.              We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s order and find no reversible error.

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

Tracy v. Virginia, No. CA-01-1031-7 (W.D. Va. filed Dec. 26, 2001;

entered Dec. 27, 2001). 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
