Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his Bivens* complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af-

firm the on the reasoning of the district court. Hampton v. Brad-
ford, No. CA-94-1282 (E.D. Va. May 3, 1996). 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
