PER CURIAM:

           Jason L. Diedrich appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.           We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we

affirm   for   the   reasons   stated   by   the   district   court.   See

Diedrich v. City of Newport News, No. CA-04-9-4 (E.D. Va. Apr. 26,

2004).   Diedrich’s motion for a stay of the appeal is denied.          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
