Appeals from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. J. Frederick Motz, Chief District Judge.
(CA-95-1982-JFM)


Submitted:   January 11, 1996            Decided:   January 24, 1996


Before RUSSELL, HALL, and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Priest, Winston Lloyd, James A. Brittingham, Jr., Jerome Baylor,
Appellants Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:
     Appellants appeal from the district court's orders denying

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

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Rankins v. Moats, No. CA-95-1982-JFM (D. Md. July
26, 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
