Francis Pierre, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Francis Pierre appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his attempt to appeal his state action. 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.

Pierre v. Virginia, No. CA-02-71-A (E.D. Va. Jan. 15, 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
