PER CURIAM:

     Frederick Burns, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999).    We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find that this

appeal is without merit.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.     See Burns v. Underwood, No. CA-99-345-5

(S.D.W. Va. July 22, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
