UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 02-7924

MARIO BALLARD,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

DOCTOR WILLIAMS,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Samuel G. Wilson, Chief District Judge. (CA-02-830-7)

Submitted: February 20, 2003 Decided: February 27, 2003

Before LUTTIG, MOTZ, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Mario Ballard, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Mario Ballard appeals the district court’s orders denying

relief on his

(2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b) (2000) and denying his motion for reconsideration. We

have reviewed the record and find that this appeal is frivolous.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. See Ballard v. Williams, No. CA-02-830-7 (W.D. Va. July 18,

2002; Nov. 25, 2002). We deny Ballard’s motion for hearing en banc

and 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.

DISMISSED
