Submitted June 22, 1995.

Decided July 10, 1995.

William Lebron Church, appellant pro se.

Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant appeals from the district court's order overruling his objections to the court's denial of his motion to reconsider the dismissal without prejudice of his complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988), and denying his motion to amend the complaint. 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. * Church v. United States Government, No. CA-94-579-R (E.D. Va. Apr. 6, 1995). 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

*

We note that the order denying relief on the merits dismissed the complaint without prejudice. If Appellant chooses to refile his section 1983 complaint, he should be cognizant of the applicable statute of limitations. See Va.Code Ann. Sec. 8.01-243(A) (Michie 1992). Further, before challenging his state convictions in a habeas corpus action, Appellant must exhaust state remedies. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (b) (1988); Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475 (1973)
