PER CURIAM:
     Appellant, an inmate, appeals the district court's order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is frivo-

lous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. Gorham v. Angelone, No. CA-97-919 (E.D. Va. Oct.
24, 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
