Submitted: March 12, 1998 Decided: March 24, 1998

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Quincy D. Byrd, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Alan Douglas Titus, CARR, GOODSON, LEE & WARNER, P.C., Washington, D.C.; Rosalie Vaughan Pemberton, TIMBERLAKE, SMITH, THOMAS & MOSES, P.C., Staunton, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 and

deny Appellee Hill's motion to dismiss appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 3(c). Byrd v. Hill, No. CA-96-1747-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 8, 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
