Appellant appeals from the district court's order adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his Bivens* complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act, Pub.L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the on the reasoning of the district court. Null v. United States, No. CA-96-376-6 (S.D.W.Va. May 15, 1996).
