Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting Appel- lees’ motion for summary judgment, thereby denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint and denying relief on his state law claims of medical malpractice and negligence. 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 Appellant’s motion for appointment of counsel and motion for sanctions. Turner v. Hudson, No. CA-94-285-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 20, 1998). 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.
