Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis-
trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District
Judge. (CA-97-194-R)

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


G. Gray, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

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

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997), and denying his motion

for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's orders and opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. Gray v. Angelone, No. CA-97-194-R (W.D. Va. Apr. 30 & June
5,1997). 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
