[MAJORITY — PER CURIAM:]
PER CURIAM:
A review of the record and of the district court’s opinion discloses that this appeal from the order of the district court denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is without merit. Accordingly, the order is affirmed for the reasons stated by the district court. Davenport v. Howard, etc., et al., 398 F.Supp. 376-(E.D.Va.1974).
