See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Eric A. Brice appeals the magistrate judge's order* re- entering judgment and once again denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. In this case, we previously vacated the magistrate judge's order adverse to Brice and remanded for recon- sideration of the possibility that Brice had shown sufficient facts to survive a motion for summary judgment with regard to his claim of deliberate indifference to a serious medical need. See Brice v. Virginia Beach Correctional Ctr., 58 F.3d 101 (4th Cir. 1995). We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's specific and careful findings of fact and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Brice v. Vir- ginia Beach Correctional Ctr. , No. CA-91-583, (E.D. Va. Dec. 19, 1995). 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 parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
