PER CURIAM:

     Paul Garnett, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint and

the magistrate judge’s orders denying his   motions for appointment

of counsel and to amend the complaint.    We have reviewed the rec-

ord, the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation, and the magistrate judge’s orders and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court and the magistrate judge.     See Garnett v. Harris,

No. CA-97-1024-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 6, 1998; Feb. 13, 1999; Mar. 24,

1999).*   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

     *
       The magistrate judge’s orders from which Garnett appeals
were filed on August 5, 1998, and February 10, 1998, and entered on
the district court’s docket on August 6, 1998, and February 13,
1999, respectively, in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and
79(a).   See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir.
1986).
