(CA-96-427-AM)

Submitted:   June 19, 1997                 Decided:   June 26, 1997

Larry Darnell Spears, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant, 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. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. Spears v. Briggs, No. CA-96-427-AM (E.D. Va. Apr.
1, 1996). 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
