See Local Rule 36(c).

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. Payne
v. Fairburn, Nos. CA-88-1212-AM; CA-93-322-AM (E.D. Va. Nov. 16,

1995); see also Heck v. Humphrey, ___ U.S. ___, 62 U.S.L.W. 4594

(U.S. June 24, 1994) (No. 93-6188). 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 deci-

sional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
