PER CURIAM:

     Ferman Alvin Ruppe appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.   We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Ruppe v. Osborne, No.

CA-02-75-7 (W.D. Va. Dec. 17, 2002). 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
