Richard S. Fett, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) & (2) (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. Fett v. Morris, No. CA-96-749-R

(W.D. Va. Sept. 12, 1996). We deny Appellant's motion requesting

free copying of appeal papers. We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-

sional process.

DISMISSED
