Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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. Griffin v. Scher, No. CA-96-1192-AM (E.D.
Va. Oct. 22, 1996). We deny Appellant's motion for the appointment
of counsel and 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
