William F. Allen, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     William F. Allen, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint as frivolous under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (West Supp. 1998).   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal

is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See Allen v. West Virginia, No. CA-98-158

(N.D.W. Va. Nov. 9, 1998).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
