OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
James Gordon Lawrence appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.*  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Lawrence v. Hall, CA-89-719-R (W.D.Va. Jan. 10, 1991).   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.

2
AFFIRMED.

*
 It is not clear whether Lawrence's motion for reconsideration was timely served in accordance with Rule 59(e), Fed.R.Civ.P., so as to toll the running of the period for filing a timely notice of appeal.   However, since Lawrence's claims are without merit, we have assumed the motion was timely served
