OPINION
PER CURIAM:
James A. Butler appeals from the district court's orders denying relief on his civil rights complaint* and his motion for reconsideration. 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. Butler v. Lane, No. CA-91-659-2 (E.D. Va. Dec. 21, 1992; Feb. 12, 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
Butler's complaint raised claims under 42 U.S.C.Sec. 1983 (1988) and under the decision in Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)
