PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court's order dismissing their

complaint for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Sanders v.
United States, No. CA-96-471-3-MU (W.D.N.C. Jan. 7, 1997). We deny

Appellants' motion for appointment of counsel. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
