PER CURIAM:

Walter M. Leach, Jr., appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing relief on his

(West Supp. 2000) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no re-

versible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Leach v. Canterbury, No. CA-99-422-5 (S.D.W. Va.

Aug. 1, 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.

AFFIRMED
