    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed an appeal from Richard Barnes, a West Virginia inmate, of a district court's denial of relief on his § 1983 civil rights claim. The appeals court reviewed the record and found Barnes' appeal frivolous, dismissing it based on the reasoning of the district court, which had denied Barnes' claim under § 1915A for screening and dismissal of frivolous prisoner lawsuits. The appeals court decided without oral argument that the facts and legal arguments were adequately presented in the case materials.

    STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA; FAYETTE COUNTY; DANITA
    YOUNG; SOUTHERN REGIONAL JAIL,
    Respondents - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Beckley. David A. Faber, District Judge.
    (CA-99-1039-5)

    Submitted:

    April 12, 2001

    Decided:

    April 17, 2001

    Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Richard L. Barnes, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Richard L. Barnes, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the district courts order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. 1983 (West
    Supp. 2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. 1915A (West Supp. 2000).
    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.

    See Barnes v. West

    Virginia, No. CA-99-1039-5 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 15, 2000). 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
