Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order granting

judgment as a matter of law for the Defendants after a bench trial

on Appellant's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) claim that they were delib-

erately indifferent to his serious medical needs. 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. Pilkenton v. Smith, No. CA-94-116-R (W.D. Va. Aug. 22,
1995). 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.
