Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Allan L. Gant appeals the district court’s order and judgment

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing

Gant’s civil rights action. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.   See Gant v. Office of the United States Attorney,

No. CA-02-1145-2 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 7, 2003).   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
