PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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. Thomas v. Trent, No. CA-95-
1099-5 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 1, 1996). 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 deci-

sional process.
