PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

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

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

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bracey
v. Moody, No. CA-95-1133-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 17, 1995). 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.
