PER CURIAM:

     Shannon J. Masters, a West Virginia inmate, appeals the dis-

trict court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 1998) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find that this

appeal is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Masters v. Davis, No. CA-98-

624-2 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 2, 1998).        We deny the motion to dismiss

certain Appellees as parties and 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.




                                                             DISMISSED
