See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Mason Thompson appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Defendants in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000)

action.    We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Thompson v. Rogers, No. CA-01-476-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 16,

2002).    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
