PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
Stephen G. Howard appeals from the magistrate judge's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) and awarding damages to Defendants C. E. Johnson and Herman Akers on their counterclaims. We have reviewed the entire record, including tapes of the evidentiary hearing held by the magistrate judge, and conclude that the magistrate judge's rulings were not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Howard v. Sielaff, No. CA-87-258-R (E.D. Va. Aug. 9, 1991). 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
