See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Johnny R. Everett, Sr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action.    We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.      Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.        See

Everett v. Department of Veterans Affairs, No. CA-98-754-3 (E.D.

Va. May 7, 1999).   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
