trict of West Virginia, at Beckley. David A. Faber, District Judge.
(CA-99-1039-5)


Submitted:   April 12, 2001                 Decided:   April 17, 2001


Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Richard L. Barnes, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Richard L. Barnes, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the dis-

trict court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 2000).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

find that this appeal is frivolous.     Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   See Barnes v. West

Virginia, No. CA-99-1039-5 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 15, 2000). 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
