trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. T.S. Ellis, III, District Judge.
(CA-98-427-AM)

Before NIEMEYER and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
Circuit Judge.

Jacob Leon Mitchell, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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. Mitchell v. Baines, No. CA-98-427-AM (E.D. Va. May 7, 1998).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal con-

tentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
