Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior
District Judge. (CA-04-805-AM)

Dennis Ray Graves, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Dennis Ray Graves appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28

U.S.C. § 1915A(b) (2000).   We have reviewed the record and find

that this appeal is frivolous.    Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

for the reasons stated by the district court.    See Graves v. Sec’y

of Health & Human Servs., No. CA-04-805-AM (E.D. Va. filed July 28,

2004; entered July 29, 2004).       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.



                                                          DISMISSED
