Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Richard Griffin, Appellant Pro Se. Lance Bradford Leggitt, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his

(1994) complaint.* 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. Griffin v. Fleming, No. CA-96-74-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 29, 1997). 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

* The order also granted Appellees' motion for a protective order, overruled Appellant's objections thereto, and denied Ap- pellant's motions for appointment of counsel and to amend the complaint.
