Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

JERRY WILSON, Sheriff; DENNIS BRIDGEMAN,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis- trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Glen E. Conrad, Magistrate Judge. (CA-97-839-R)

Submitted: December 17, 1998 Decided: January 7, 1999

Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James H. Lester, Appellant Pro Se. Phillip Richard Lingafelt, GLENN, FELDMANN, DARBY & GOODLATTE, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James Lester appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying

relief on his

(West Supp. 1998) complaint.* We

have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opinion and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the magistrate judge. See Lester v. Wilson, No. CA-97-839-R

(W.D. Va. Sept. 18, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED

* This case was decided by a magistrate judge exercising jurisdiction upon consent of the parties under

(c)(1) (West 1993 & Supp. 1998).
