(CA-97-998-2)


Submitted:   March 26, 1998                 Decided:   April 6, 1998

Paul M. Blowe, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint as frivolous under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915A(e)(2)(B)(i), (iii) (West Supp. 1997). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find that

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion
for appointment of counsel and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. Blowe v. City of Norfolk, No. CA-97-998-2
(E.D. Va. Oct. 17, 1997). See 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A(e)(2)(B)(i). 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
