Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's* order denying his motion to amend and dismissing this civil action with prejudice. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Stuart v. George Washington Nat'l Forest, No. CA- 96-7-H (W.D. Va. Nov. 26, 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 deci- sional process.

AFFIRMED

* The parties agreed to have the claims adjudicated by a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
