Michael Banks, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
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
