PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint in which he sought a service-connected disability pen- sion. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason- ing of the district court. Oaks v. Reno, No. CA-97-237-B (W.D. Va. Dec. 15, 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
