Michael P. Wills, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael P. Wills appeals from the district court’s order

adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss his

action seeking compensation for damages to his personal property.

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 United States v. Wills, No. CA-99-110-3

(E.D. Va. June 16, 1999).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
