PER CURIAM:
Michael Banks, 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. §§ 1915(e)(2), 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have re-
viewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the
magistrate judge's recommendation and find that this appeal is
frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. Banks v. Tucker, No. CA-97-571 (E.D. Va. Feb.
27, 1998). 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.
DISMISSED
