PER CURIAM:

              Jerome Anthony Howard appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.                We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.             Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.             See Howard v.

Smith, No. CA-03-144-7 (W.D. Va. filed Mar. 23, 2005 & entered

Mar.    24,   2005).     We   further    deny    Howard’s    motion     for   the

appointment of counsel. 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

                                      - 2 -
