Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

George Leon Spencer appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(West Supp. 1998) 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. Spencer v. Watson, No. CA-97-664-R (W.D. Va. Feb.

3, 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.

AFFIRMED
