See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

            Gary Kevin Mattis appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action.      Our review of the record and the

district     court’s   opinion   discloses   no   reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.   See Mattis v. Virginia, No. CA-03-75 (N.D.W. Va. Mar. 29,

2004).     We deny Mattis’ motion to strike and 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
