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 granting summary judgment and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Smith v. Fleming, No. CA-95-843-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 8,
1997). 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
