PER CURIAM:
Ashann-Ra appeals the district court’s order denying his
free exercise claim filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See
Ashann-Ra v. Johnson, No. CA-02-927-7 (W.D. Va. Aug. 22, 2003). 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
