    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    JAMES A. SMITH, JR., Warden,
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Chief District
    Judge. (CA-97-1166-AM)
    Submitted:

    November 20, 1997

    Decided:

    December 11, 1997

    Before MURNAGHAN, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    James Anthony Molinero, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's
    order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) complaint under
    28 U.S.C.A. 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record
    and the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
    district court. Molinero v. Smith, No. CA-97-1166-AM (E.D. Va. Aug.
    8, 1997). 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
