PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court’s order denying

relief on his civil rights complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gant

v. Reno, No. CA-97-29-1 (N.D.W. Va. Mar. 30, 1998). 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.
