PER CURIAM:

     Ricky M. Watson appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.   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.    See Watson v. Roberts, No. CA-01-14-2 (E.D.

Va. filed Dec. 18, 2001; entered Dec. 19, 2001).   We deny Watson’s

motion for appointment of counsel. We further deny Watson’s motion

for general relief, in which he seeks to compel testimony from one

of the physicians who treated him.   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
