Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior District Judge. (CA-01-408-2)

Submitted: December 19, 2001 Decided: January 18, 2002

Before MICHAEL, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Timothy C. Tucker, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Timothy C. Tucker appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(West Supp. 2001) complaint, which

the court properly construed as filed under Bivens v. Six Unknown

Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics,

(1971). We

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

no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to pro-

ceed in forma pauperis, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of

the district court. See Tucker v. Hambrick, No. CA-01-408-2 (E.D.

Va. Aug. 7, 2001). We deny the motion for appointment of counsel.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
