AFFIRMED.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Richard Townes, Jr. and Joseph R. O'Dell, III appeal the district court's order dismissing their 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 complaint without prejudice to refiling under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 after exhaustion of state remedies.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Townes v. Commonwealth of Virginia, CA-89-131-N (E.D.Va. Feb. 22, 1989).  Appellants' motion for appointment of counsel is denied.  As a certificate of probable cause is unnecessary to appeal the dismissal of a civil rights complaint, their motion for a certificate of probable cause is denied as well.  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.


2
AFFIRMED.
