PER CURIAM:

James Curtis appeals the district court’s order granting De-

fendants’ motion for summary judgment and denying relief on his

(West Supp. 1999) 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. See Curtis v. Saunders, No. CA-98-538-7 (W.D. Va. Sept. 15,

1999). 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
