PER CURIAM

Thomas R. Morke appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint, and a subsequent order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Morke v. Merritt , No. CA-98-1572- AM (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 7, 2000, entered Sept. 8, 2000; filed Nov. , 2000, entered Nov. 28, 2000). 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
