RICHARD WADE KENDRICK,

                                            Plaintiff - Appellant,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis-
trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. James C. Turk, District Judge.
(CA-97-243-R)


Submitted:   August 28, 1997          Decided:   September 17, 1997


Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Richard Wade Kendrick, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous. Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion for injunctive re-
lief and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.

Kendrick v. Angelone, No. CA-97-243-R (W.D. Va. Apr. 16, 1997). 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
