Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's order denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint.* We have reviewed the
record and the magistrate judge's order and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate

judge. Prince v. Jabe, No. CA-95-424-3 (E.D. Va. Apr. 22, 1996). 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




      *
        The parties agreed to proceed before a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
