PER CURIAM:

     Maurice A. Davis appeals the district court’s order granting

the Defendants’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) motion and dismissing this

civil action. 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 Davis v. White, No. CA-

00-9-1 (N.D.W. Va. Apr. 27, 2000).   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
