John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     John Paul Turner, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district

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

2001) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 2000) and

denying his motion for reconsideration and to amend.       We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find that

this appeal is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.   See Turner v. Publisher, No.

CA-02-503-7 (W.D. Va. Mar. 14 & Apr. 11, 2002).       We deny the

petition for writ of error coram nobis filed July 15, 2002, and

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
