Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Robert E. Butler, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find that Butler failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal on the reasoning of the district court. See Butler v. Young, No. CA-00-65-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 2, 2000). 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.
