Joshua Bernard Johns, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Joshua   Bernard   Johns   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint for

failure to state a claim.       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 Johns v.

Matthew, No. CA-02-342-AM (E.D. Va. May 30, 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
