PER CURIAM:
John Berlin, 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 friv-
olous. Accordingly, we deny Berlin's motion for general relief and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Berlin
v. Murray, No. CA-95-376-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 28, 1996). 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
