Leroy M. Thurston, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

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

dismissing his civil action for lack of federal jurisdiction.     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.    Thurston v. Samuel White Law Firm, No. CA-02-

32-3 (W.D. Va. Mar. 13, 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
