PER CURIAM:
Joseph M. Russell 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. Russell v. Smith, No. 4:08-cv-00070-JBF-JEB (E.D. Va.
Oct. 6, 2008). 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
