- 2 - Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

- 3 - PER CURIAM:

Ashann-Ra appeals the district court’s order denying his

free exercise claim filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See

Ashann-Ra v. Johnson, No. CA-02-927-7 (W.D. Va. Aug. 22, 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
