    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Jacob Leon Mitchell, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district
    courts order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district courts opinion and find that
    this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the
    reasoning of the district court. Mitchell v. Virginia Peninsula
    Regional Jail, No. CA-98-256-AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 23, 1998). 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.

    DISMISSED
