Joseph Paul Verno, Appellant Pro Se. William David Wilmoth, United States Attorney, Daniel W. Dickinson, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM:

Verno appeals the district court's order denying relief on his

Bivens* complaint and denying his request to have a charge expunged from his prison record. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Verno v. Hilliard, No. CA-95-69-1 (N.D.W. Va. Feb. 12, 1996). 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

* Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics,

(1971).
