PER CURIAM:

     K. Morgan Kenyon appeals the district court’s orders dismiss-

ing her civil rights action.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   According-

ly, although we deny the motion to dismiss as frivolous, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court.     See Kenyon v. Amherst

County Jail, No. CA-98-85-6 (W.D. Va. May 9 & May 12, 2000).     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
