PER CURIAM:

     Gary L. DeTemple appeals the district court’s orders granting

judgment in favor of the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 1999) action and denying his motion for reconsideration of

the same.     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinions and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.   See DeTemple v. Hedrick, No.

CA-97-30-5 (N.D.W. Va. Mar. 31, 1998; Mar. 15, 1999;* May 5, 1999).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED




     *
       Although this order was filed on March 15, 1999, it was
entered on the district court’s docket sheet on March 16, 1998.
March 16, 1999, is therefore the effective date of the district
court’s decision.   See Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and 79(a); see also
Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
