PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's order* denying relief
on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) civil complaint and motion for
reconsideration under FED. R. CIV. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the
record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate
judge. Holmes v. Scott, No. CA-96-193-3 (E.D. Va. Nov. 6 & 22,
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 decisional process.
AFFIRMED
*
Both parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
