John Paul Smith, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               John Paul Smith, Sr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint for failure to

state a claim.      We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Smith v. Virginia, No. 2:06-cv-00643-RBS-TEM (E.D.

Va. Jan. 17, 2008).           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
