Buford H. Light, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Buford H. Light 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.       Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Light v. Apfel,

No. CA-99-115-2 (N.D.W. Va. Oct. 20, 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
