PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal from the district court's orders denying re-

lief on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaints. We have reviewed
the records and the district court's opinions and find no rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. Rivens v. Dunn, No. CA-94-1102-R; Kosma v. Dunn,

No. CA-94-944-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 31, 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
