Judge. (CA-02-987-7)

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Bobby L. Compton, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Bobby L. Compton appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b) (2000).      We have reviewed the record and find no

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

district court.   See Compton v. Dobbins, No. CA-02-987-7 (W.D. Va.

filed Aug. 28, 2002 & entered Aug. 29, 2002).           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
