Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Virgil L. Payne appeals the district court’s order accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge dismissing his civil
action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny Payne’s motion for general relief and affirm
on the reasoning of the district court. Payne v. West Virginia Pub.
Serv. Comm’n, No. CA-03-6-2 (S.D.W. Va. July 29, 2003). 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
