See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988) on his Bivens com-
plaint.* We have reviewed the record and the district court's
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. Soltis v. Federal Bureau of

Prisons, No. CA-95-166-1 (N.D.W. Va. Feb. 15, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
