PER CURIAM:
Frank Linwood Elam appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint. 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. See Elam v. Pienatt, No. CA-00-929-2 (E.D. Va.
Jan. 8, 2001). We deny Elam’s motions for appointment of counsel
and for an evaluation by an independent handwriting expert at gov-
ernment expense. 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
