    (CA-97-163-2)
    Submitted:

    Decided:

    July 23, 1997

    Before RUSSELL, HALL, and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Donnie Lee Bruce, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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(b)(1) (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 and deny Appellant's "Motion to Amend." Bruce
    v. Peatross, No. CA-97-163-2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 24, 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
