PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's order* denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) civil complaint and motion for reconsideration under FED. R. CIV. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Holmes v. Scott, No. CA-96-193-3 (E.D. Va. Nov. 6 & 22, 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

* Both parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
