PER CURIAM:

     George W. Woodson appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint.   We

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

the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Woodson v. City of Charleston’s Metro Drug Unit, No. CA-98-229-2

(S.D.W. Va. June 4, 1998).   We deny Woodson’s motions for appoint-

ment of counsel and extension of time to perfect his appeal.    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
