PER CURIAM:

     Henry James appeals the district court’s order granting Appel-

lee’s motion to dismiss his action filed under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983

(West Supp. 1998).    We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we af-

firm the judgment of the district court and deny James’ motion for

appointment of counsel. See James v. John Doe, No. CA-97-1103 (E.D.

Va. Jan. 14, 1999).    We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
