PER CURIAM:
Ricky M. Watson appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) 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 Watson v. Roberts, No. CA-01-14-2 (E.D.
Va. filed Dec. 18, 2001; entered Dec. 19, 2001). We deny Watson’s
motion for appointment of counsel. We further deny Watson’s motion
for general relief, in which he seeks to compel testimony from one
of the physicians who treated him. 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
