E.D.Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, MICHAEL, Circuit Judge, 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. Stokes v. Williams, No. CA-92-1177-AM (E.D. Va. Aug. 10, 1993; Sept. 24, 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

* Although Stokes did not receive the notice required by Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir.1975), on this record we find this to be harmless error. Fed.R.Civ.P. 61
