PER CURIAM

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his claims for civil rights violations, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988), and copyright infringement, 17 U.S.C.A. Sec. 501 (West 1977 & Supp.1993). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Davis v. Smith, No. CA-91-747-AM (E.D. Va. Oct. 21, 1993). 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.
