PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court’s order granting Appel-

lees’ motion for a preliminary injunction and subsequent orders

implementing the injunction.   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court.   See Register v. Seafarers

Pension Plan, No. CA-00-143-7-F(1) (E.D.N.C. Jan 12 & 22, 2001;

Feb. 8, 2001).   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
