Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, District
Judge. (CA-96-1178-AM)


Submitted:   March 12, 1998              Decided:   March 25, 1998


Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Kevin Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Collin Jefferson Hite, SANDS,
ANDERSON, MARKS & MILLER, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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




                                3
PER CURIAM:

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

orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint,

denying his post-judgment motion to amend, and denying his motion

for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Johnson v. Angelone,
No. CA-96-1178-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 10, Oct. 8, and Nov. 3, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
