PER CURIAM:

     Ismail Muhammad appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion for a new trial, Fed. R. Civ. P. 59. Our review of the rec-

ord and the district court’s opinion discloses no reversible error.

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

Muhammad v. Hudson, No. CA-95-1231-R (W.D. Va. June 5, 1998). 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
