PER CURIAM:

     William Lee Richardson, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss his complaint in which

he alleged that Defendants made defamatory statements and violated

his Fourth Amendment rights.    We have reviewed Richardson’s com-

plaint and find no reversible error in the district court’s ruling

that Richardson’s claims are not justiciable.   Accordingly, we af-

firm the district court’s order dismissing Richardson’s complaint.

See Richardson v. Broad Lane, Inc., No. CA-99-84-3 (N.D.W. Va. Nov.

16, 1999).    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
