See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under

28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform
Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find that this

appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court. Everett v. Angelone, No. CA-96-

853-AM (E.D. Va. June 19, 1996). 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
