PER CURIAM:

     Joseph Pniewski appeals the district court’s order denying his

motions to amend his complaint, correct his proposed amended com-

plaint, and appoint counsel, and dismissing his complaint filed

under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999), 42 U.S.C. § 1985

(1994), and the West Virginia Governmental Tort Claims and Insur-

ance Reform Act (W. Va. Code §§ 29-12A-1 to -18 (Repl. Vol. 1999)).

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.   See Pniewski v. West Virginia, No. CA-98-

1174-3 (S.D.W. Va. May 14, 1999).    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
