PER CURIAM:
John J. “Swartz” Trent appeals the district court’s order
granting in forma pauperis status and dismissing the complaint for
failing to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Trent v. WSET,
No. CA-99-80-6 (W.D. Va. Nov. 16, 1999). 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
