2 PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district courts order entering

judgment in favor of Defendants in his

(1994)

action. We have reviewed the record, the trial testimony, and the

district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recom-

mendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel and affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Conner v. Smith, No. CA-94-249-R (W.D. Va. May 5, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
