Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge. (CA-96-375-2)

Submitted: November 7, 1996 Decided: November 19, 1996

Before RUSSELL and WIDENER, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Donald L. Wilkins, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's

order denying relief on his

(1994) complaint under

(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act,

Stat. 1321 (1996). We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find that this

appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court. Wilkins v. Bradley, No. CA-96-375-

2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 29, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
