- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Mark E. Richards appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Defendants and dismissing his

civil rights complaint challenging the conditions of confinement.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Richards v. Saunders, No. CA-01-805-7 (W.D. Va. Oct. 2,

2003). 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
