Decided: May 19, 1994.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Richard B. Kellam, Senior District Judge. (CA-93-229-2)

Ronald Wayne Hockman, Appellant Pro Se.

Alan Katz, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

E.D.Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before WILKINS and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) complaint. 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.* Hockman v. Jackson, No. CA-93-229-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 16 & Oct. 8, 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.

AFFIRMED

* The district court's failure to give Hockman the notice required by Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir.1975), was harmless error. We conclude that the error did not affect any substantial right. United States v. Nyman, 649 F.2d 208, 211 (4th Cir.1980)
