PER CURIAM:
Mario L. Ballard appeals the district court’s orders accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge to deny Ballard’s
petition for writ of mandamus and denying his motion for
reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Ballard v. Chief of Va. Dep’t State Police, No. CA-02-
202 (E.D. Va. Nov. 1, 2002; Nov. 19, 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
