(CA-98-256-AM)

Jacob Leon Mitchell, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jacob Leon Mitchell, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have re-

viewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find that

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court. Mitchell v. Virginia Peninsula

Regional Jail, No. CA-98-256-AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 23, 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
