PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record
and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-
cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Counts
v. Newhart, No. CA-96-101-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 6, 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
