Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Richard Dean Mears, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

suit filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed.
Bureau of Narcotics, 

 (1971). We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Mears v. United States, No. CA-95-1504-AM (E.D. Va. Oct. 30, 1995).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
