PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. §

(1983) (1988) action. 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. Sawyer v. Ferguson,

No. CA-94-1058-R (W.D. Va. Dec. 1, 1995). We deny Appellant's

motions for appointment of counsel and for preparation of a tran-
script at government expense.       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 deci-

sional process.



                                                          AFFIRMED
