PER CURIAM:

     Damon Kissam died while an inmate in the Rappahannock Regional

Jail. Joy Kissam, as administrator of Damon’s estate, sued various

defendants, alleging constitutional claims under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983

as well as state law claims.   The district court granted summary

judgment in favor of the defendants, and Kissam appeals.   We have

reviewed the record and the briefs and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order granting summary

judgment against Kissam’s claims.     See Kissam v. Rappahannock

Regional Jail, No. 1:04CV466 (E.D. Va. April 20, 2005).         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
