Stephen D. Payne, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his mo-

tion to reconsider the dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Payne v. Smith, No.
CA-96-1098-2 (E.D. Va. Feb. 12, 1997). 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.
