See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals from the district

court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) com-

plaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litiga-
tion Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We

have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find

that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

on the reasoning of the district court. McBride v. Jenkins, No. CA-

96-26 (E.D. Va. May 14, 1996). We deny Appellant's motion to stay

the case pending a decision in his state court action. We also deny

his motion for 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.

                                                         DISMISSED
