PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) 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. Simmons v. Huffman, No. CA-94-590-R (W.D. Va. Sept. 28,

1995). We deny Appellant's motion for oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
