PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-

dants' motions to dismiss his complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Watts v. Metzger, No. CA-95-744-R
(W.D. Va. Sept. 10, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
