    GREGORY A. WILLIAMS,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    E. MONTGOMERY
    Parole Board,

    TUCKER,

    Chairman,

    Virginia
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior District
    Judge. (CA-96-453-2)
    Submitted:

    February 27, 1997

    Decided:

    March 11, 1997

    Before MURNAGHAN, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Gregory A. Williams, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing
    his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) complaint without prejudice to his
    right to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We have
    reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
    reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
    district court. Williams v. Tucker, No. CA-96-453-2 (E.D. Va. July
    2, 1996). 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
