PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court’s order denying relief on

their 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.       We have

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

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

district court. Wheeling Jesuit Univ. v. City of Wheeling, No. CA-

00-14-5 (N.D.W. Va. July 10, 2000). 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
