PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order adopting the

report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing

his Bivens* complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by
Prison Litigation Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321

(1996). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the on the

reasoning of the district court. Null v. United States, No. CA-96-
376-6 (S.D.W. Va. May 15, 1996). 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 deci-
sional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
