Stanley Wilson Crusenberry, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint for failure to state a claim upon

which relief can be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). 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. Crusenberry v. Chadwell, No. CA-96-1086-R (W.D. Va.
Jan. 8, 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.
