See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court's order denying relief in

this civil action. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Prade v. Jackson & Kelly, No. CA-
94-18-3 (N.D.W. Va. Oct. 18, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
