Bernard Smith, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Bernard Smith appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.          We have reviewed

the   record   and   the   district   court’s   opinion    accepting   the

magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Smith v. Glendening, No. CA-02-10 (E.D. Va. June 20, 2002).            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
