CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Appellants Jose Arellano, Pedro Garcia Quintero, and Victor

Hernandez appeal the district court’s judgment denying relief on

their civil rights complaint contending they were subjected to

cruel and unusual punishment because of their nationality. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.   See Arellano v. North Carolina, No. CA-98-703-5-H

(E.D.N.C. Sept. 8, 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.
