Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district courts order entering judgment in favor of Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (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
