PER CURIAM:
     The Appellants appeal from the district court's order denying

relief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) 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. Wrenn v. Freeman, No. CA-94-786-5-F (E.D.N.C. Dec. 20,
1995). We deny the Appellants' motion for appointment of counsel

and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
