PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal from the district court's order denying

relief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magis-

trate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Barnes v.
Freeman, No. CA-94-193-5-F (E.D.N.C. Dec. 21, 1995). 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
