PER CURIAM:

            John Ruffin Williams appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b)(1) (2000) for failure to state a claim.                  We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, Williams v.

Mackling,   No.   2:07-cv-147   (E.D.    Va.   Jul   2,   2007),   and   deny

Williams’ motion for judgment, in which he reargues the merits of

his claims.   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

                                 - 3 -
