PER CURIAM:

     Eugene Gray appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

defamation and various constitutional violations claims. 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. Gray v. Chesterfield-Colonial Hgts. Dep’t of Soc.

Servs., No. CA-98-8 (E.D. Va. Apr. 24, 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.
