Michael Clark, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Michael Clark, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Clark v. Virginia, No. CA-99-144-7 (W.D.

Va. Mar. 23, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
