PER CURIAM:
Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's
order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under
28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record
and the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is friv-
olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. Sandifur v. Northern Neck Reg'l Jail, No. CA-97-
160-AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 18, 1997). We deny Appellant's motion to ap-
point counsel and 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.
DISMISSED
