Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District Judge. (CA-01-407-2)

Submitted: March 6, 2002 Decided: March 18, 2002

Before WIDENER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jerome Branch, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jerome Branch appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his

(West Supp. 2001) complaint without

prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. See Porter v. Nussle, U.S. ,

(Feb. 26, 2002) (No. 853); Booth v. Churner,

(2001). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Branch v. Lieutenant Jones, No. CA-01-407-2 (E.D. Va.

Nov. 15, 2001). 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
