PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-
cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Titus

v. Metzger, No. CA-96-49-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 7, 1997). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
