PER CURIAM.

¶1 Willie Foster Sellers appeals the district court’s orders denying him relief in his action alleging violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Sellers v. Melson, No. CA-01-545-2 (E.D.Va. Nov. 9, 2001; Sept. 23, 2002). 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.

¶2 AFFIRMED.
