PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court's orders denying their
motions for reconsideration of the order denying relief on their 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. 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. Gray v. Angelone,

No. CA-96-868-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 19, 1996). We grant Appellant Gray's

motion to expedite the appeal to the extent possible given the
court's busy docket. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.



                                                          AFFIRMED
