Bernard Ray Richardson, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Campbell Alexander,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Richardson v. Wheeler, No. CA-93-872-R (W.D. Va. July 10,
1995; Oct. 7, 1994). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process. *




                                                          AFFIRMED




       *
        In light of this disposition, Richardson's motions for
discovery and for appointment of counsel are hereby denied.
