See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying re-
lief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed the
record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the
district court. Turner v. Mikula, No. CA-95-693 (E.D. Va. Aug. 2,
1995). To the extent that Appellant claims his counsel conspired
with the prosecution, his claim may not be barred by the statute of
limitations, but it is barred by the Supreme Court's holding in
Heck v. Humphrey, ___ U.S. ___, 62 U.S.L.W. 4594 (U.S. June 24,
1994) (No. 93-6188). In all other respects Appellant's claims
against his attorney are not cognizable because the attorney was
not a state actor. See Polk County v. Dodson, 454 U.S. 312 (1981);
Deas v. Potts, 547 F.2d 800 (4th Cir. 1976). 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
