Thomas R. Morke, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis, OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Thomas R. Morke appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint, and

a subsequent order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion.    We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Morke v. Merritt, No. CA-98-1572-

AM (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 7, 2000, entered Sept. 8, 2000; filed Nov.

27, 2000, entered Nov. 28, 2000).   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
