Jerry L. Gent, Appellant Pro Se. Donald Renardo Ferguson, OFFICE OF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his complaint alleging that he was denied services based on his

disability. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Gent v. Department for Rights of
Virginians with Disabilities, No. CA-96-155-A (W.D. Va. Feb. 12,

1997). Further, we deny Appellant's request for appointed counsel.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
