PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bell
v. Graham, No. CA-96-154-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 9, 1997). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
