See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) action and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P.

59(e) motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and

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

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Hankins v.
Jabe, No. CA-96-378-3 (E.D. Va. Sept. 26, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
