- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Omoro Ragland appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000) action challenging, among other things, the validity and

enforcement of the prison’s grooming policy. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. Ragland v. Powell, No.

7:02-cv-00786-jct (W.D. Va. filed Mar. 14 & entered Mar. 15, 2006).

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
