trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District
Judge. (CA-96-346)


Submitted:   June 20, 1996                   Decided:   July 3, 1996


Before HALL, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Clyde K. Futrell, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have re-

viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Futrell v. Wray, No. CA-96-346 (E.D. Va. Apr. 12,
1996). We deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel and

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
