Ferman Alvin Ruppe, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia; Jim Harold Guynn, Jr., Melvin Edward Williams, GUYNN & MEMMER, P.C., Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ferman Alvin Ruppe appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(2000) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Ruppe v. Osborne, No.

CA-02-75-7 (W.D. Va. Dec. 17, 2002). 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
