Robert E. Butler, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Robert E. Butler, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999).    We

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

that Butler failed to state a claim upon which relief could be

granted.   Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal on the reasoning of

the district court.   See Butler v. Young, No. CA-00-65-7 (W.D. Va.

Feb. 2, 2000).   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
