PER CURIAM:

     Edward Thomas Illsley appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his action which it properly construed as filed under 42

U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named

Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 

 (1971).   We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the

magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

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

Illsley v. Hawks, No. CA-99-424 (E.D. Va. Nov. 15, 1999).       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
