PER CURIAM:

     William Sanford Gadd appeals the district court’s order grant-

ing the Defendant’s motion to dismiss his civil complaint. 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 Gadd v. Thorson, No. CA-99-1145-1 (S.D.W. Va.

May 16, 2000).    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
