Kim D. Porter, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Foster Barr, OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Kim D. Porter appeals the district court’s order entering

judgment for Defendant following trial in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000) action. We have reviewed the record and conclude that there

are no meritorious issues for appeal.   Accordingly, we affirm.   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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
