Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Banoro Garrett, Appellant Pro Se. Samuel Lawrence Dumville, Virginia Beach, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Banoro Garrett appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court, but modify the district court’s order

dismissing Garrett’s claim against Smith to reflect a dismissal

without prejudice. Garrett v. Woods, No. CA-01-776-2 (E.D. Va.

Apr. 22, 2002). We deny Garrett’s motion for a transcript at

government expense, and 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
