PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. Din-Watkins v. Robinson, No. CA-97-1877-AM (E.D.

Va. Dec. 15, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
