    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed an appeal from William H. Scott, III, a Virginia inmate. Scott had filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against his former attorney, which the district court denied under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). The Court of Appeals reviewed the record and found Scott's appeal to be frivolous, dismissing it based on the reasoning of the district court. The unpublished opinion is not binding precedent.

    WILLIAM H. SCOTT, III,


    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    BRIAN K. MILLER, Attorney at Law,
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District
    Judge. (CA-96-742)
    Submitted:

    February 27, 1997

    Decided:

    March 11, 1997

    Before MURNAGHAN, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    William H. Scott, III, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's
    order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) 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 that this
    appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Scott v. Miller, No. CA-96-742 (E.D.
    Va. Aug. 6, 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.

    DISMISSED
