THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Barry Neil Houchens appeals the district court’s order

granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment in his action

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000).      We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.   See Houchens v. Huddleston, No. CA-

05-246-7 (W.D. Va. Oct. 4, 2005).    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
