Larry Preston Cooke, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Larry Preston Cooke appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny appellant’s motion for the

appointment of counsel and affirm the dismissal on the reasoning of

the district court. See Cooke v. Parrish, No. CA-98-663-2 (E.D. Va.

June 30, 1998). 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
