Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. James C. Turk, Chief District Judge. (C/A No. 89-368-R).

Fermin Jose Garcia, appellant pro se.

W.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Fermin Jose Garcia appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 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. Garcia v. Jackson, C/A No. 89-368-R (W.D. Va. Aug. 31, 1989). 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

(Slip op. at 2-3). We are bound by these established rules in this case
