Jonathan M. Siler, Appellant Pro Se. Robert P. McIntosh, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

              Jonathan M. Siler appeals the district court’s order

denying      relief   on   his   complaint      alleging    a   violation   under

Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 

    (1971).      We    have   reviewed   the     record   and   find   no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.        See Siler v. Katta, No. CA-03-100 (E.D. Va.

Nov. 5, 2003).        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.



                                                                          AFFIRMED
