See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Leon Gillis appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

civil suit for lack of jurisdiction.   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. See

Gillis v. Walsh, No. CA-98-556-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 25, 1998).      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
