PER CURIAM:

           Leroy M. Thurston, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order denying relief on his civil action.          We have reviewed the

record   and   find    no   reversible   error.   Accordingly,   we   deny

Thurston’s motion for counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.       See Thurston v. Beskins, No. CA-03-61 (W.D. Va.

Nov. 24, 2003).       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
