    United States Court of Appeals,


    Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: January 15, 1993.
    Decided: June 21, 1993.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of

    Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, District Judge. (CA-92-152)


    George Joyner, Appellant Pro Se.
    Robert Harkness Herring, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Richmond,
    Virginia, for Appellees.
    W.D.Va.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and
    SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    OPINION
    1

    George Joyner appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42
    U.S.C. 1983 (1988). 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. Joyner v. Department of Corrections, No. CA92-152 (W.D. Va. Dec. 2, 1992). 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

    Joyner sought injunctive relief concerning the handling of mail at the Augusta
    Correctional Center. We deny relief on this claim because Joyner's subsequent
    transfer renders the request for injunctive relief moot. See Ross v. Reed, 719
    F.2d 689, 693-94 (4th Cir. 1983)
